Padstow was and still is a busy fishing port as it was once back in Elizabethan times, now the local fishermen supply the multiple restaurants within the town. Padstow plays a major part in the tourism industry in Cornwall, welcoming millions each year to a little bit of Cornish life. Tourism first boomed when the railway in 1899 was built, running a regular service between London and Padstow and since the town has thrived on tourism.
Perranporth Beach is a great family friendly beach and at low tide being one of the largest stretches of unbroken golden sandy beach joining up with Penhale Sands. Perfect at low tide giving a huge vast amount of space but during summer periods it can get very busy so be sure to get here early on a hot day! Great for the kids as there is a lot of space along with rock pools, caves, dunes and a stream running though the beach, oh and don’t forget the natural bathing pool on chapel rock!
