The scent of sea salt drifts inland here, carried on the same Atlantic breeze that brings surfers to Cornwall's north coast each morning.
Perran Springs caters to tourers — caravans and campervans that want a proper pitch base within striking distance of Perranporth's legendary beach. This is classic Cornish holiday park territory, ideal for couples and families who prefer wheels to tent pegs, with dogs welcome by arrangement if you ask ahead. The area's all about that sweeping golden sand, the coastal path drama, and those surf-town fish suppers after a day in the salt.
Facilities aren't detailed in full, so check what's onsite when you book — hook-ups, shower blocks, and the like vary between pitches. Campfires need confirming on arrival, so don't bank on a beach-style fire circle without asking first. The vibe feels like a settled, well-trodden tourer stop rather than wild camping — handy for exploring the coast without dragging canvas through Cornish drizzle.

King Charles III England Coast Path: Newquay to Penzance
Follows Cornwall's dramatic Atlantic coastline over rugged clifftops with sustained moderate to steep sections and numerous stone steps. Not suitable for buggies or very young children due to exposed cliff edges, stiles, and challenging terrain. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock and cliff edges. Rewards with spectacular ocean views, secluded coves, historic tin mines, and authentic Cornish fishing villages – arguably England's most scenic coastal walk with ever-changing seascapes.

Holywell beach walk, North Cornwall
Wanders along dramatic clifftops and down to a stunning sandy beach backed by towering dunes. The route includes moderate inclines with some steep sections on coastal paths and steps to the beach itself. Not suitable for buggies due to uneven terrain and stairs, but manageable for older children who are confident on hills. Dogs welcome year-round. Perfect for combining spectacular Atlantic views with a proper beach visit, plus National Trust facilities nearby.
Walking route

Route length: 1.6 km
Cubert Common walk, North Cornwall
Meanders across coastal heathland owned by the National Trust, mostly flat with a few gentle undulations. Perfect for families with young children and suitable for sturdy buggies on the main paths, though some narrower sections may require off-roading wheels. Dogs welcome to explore the open common. Worth doing for the purple heather in late summer, wildflower meadows, and glimpses of the Atlantic coastline without the cliff-edge drama of nearby routes.
