Gorran Haven and Little Perhaver Beaches are two adjacent beaches located on the south coast of Cornwall, popular with tourists and holidaymakers as family-friendly destinations.
Gorran Haven Beach and Little Perhaver Beach are situated near St Austell on the South West Cornwall coast. Gorran Haven Beach is a small, east-facing sandy beach nestled in the heart of a charming fishing village, while Little Perhaver Beach is a sand and shingle beach that links up with Gorran Haven's main beach at low tide.
Gorran Haven Beach is partially sheltered by a historic stone quay, creating ideal conditions for swimming and water activities. The beach is approximately 290 metres wide and is backed partly by cliffs. While there's no lifeguard cover, the calm waters make it an excellent spot for families with children to enjoy the sea. At low tide, a huge sandy beach appears, making it a perfect spot on a sunny day.
Little Perhaver Beach is a sand and shingle beach that links up with Gorran Haven's main beach at low tide. It is a popular family beach and is used by tourists and holidaymakers.
Both beaches offer a range of facilities and activities, including:
* Public toilets and amenities conveniently located close to the beach
* Kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding rentals during the summer season
* Fishing trips from the harbor or casting a line from the shore
* Delicious food options, including fish and chips, fresh cakes, and Cornish pasties
* Holiday cottages available to rent
* Boat trips for sightseeing and fishing
* Scenic cliff walks, including a visit to nearby Dodman Point with its Iron Age hillfort
Getting to the beach is easy, with a large car park just 300 meters up the road. The beach itself is accessible for all, with the road sloping gently down to the sand.
Gorran Haven Beach is on The Roseland Heritage Coast, and adjacent to the South West Coast Path.
