Perranuthnoe Beach

unLiked
Removed from Unnamed collection

Nestled on the south coast of Cornwall, just about a mile east of Marazion, lies the charming Perranuthnoe Beach. This delightful spot offers stunning views of St Michael's Mount, a true gem of the region. When the tide is low, the beach reveals its sandy stretches with a touch of shingle. However, when the tide rolls in, the sea reclaims most of the shoreline. It's a favorite haunt for surfers, who flock here to catch the waves.

Locals often refer to it as Perran Sands, but don't get it mixed up with the beach of the same name over at Perranporth on the north coast. This Perranuthnoe Beach is a world of its own, offering a unique slice of Cornish paradise.

For those seeking a bit of adventure, the surrounding area is perfect for coastal walks, where you can soak in the breathtaking scenery and maybe even spot some local wildlife. Remember to check the tide times before your visit to make the most of your day by the sea.
