Perranporth

Perranporth is a village on the north coast of Cornwall, England, near to Newquay. The village, and its Beach, face the Atlantic, with hundreds of miles of uninterupted fetch producing large waves, making it one of the most popular surfing destinations in Britain. At low tide the beach becomes up to half a mile wide, making it a popular tourist destination in the summer.
