South West Coast Path: Perranporth to Portreath

Route Description for South West Coast Path: Perranporth to Portreath

Another gorgeous walking route along the stunning expanse of the Cornish coast, the South West Coast Path: Perranporth to Portreath will lead you through beautifully scenic seaside towns and villages, all while taking in some amazing sightlines over secluded coves and beaches that border the Atlantic Ocean. There is a bit of elevation gain along the route and it is also quite long, so be sure to wear sturdy walking boots and bring plenty of snacks and water.

Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way to the southwest to leave the town of Perranporth behind and traverse the rugged terrain of the coast. After passing by an airfield and the charming Trevaunance Cove, you will round the beautifully scenic St Agnes Head and continue to the southwest to traverse several other secluded beaches, such as those at Chapel Porth and Porthtowan. From here, you will complete the final leg of the walk that will bring you past another airfield and into the end point in Portreath.
