Perranporth- Good Places To Photograph?

[Drpepper99uk]

Hi,

I'm off for a few days to Cornwall to Perranporth and the surrounding area's and I thought I'd ask on here if there's any good places of interest to get the camera out in general. It's been 17 years since I last visited Cornwall(too long) and things have probably changed since.

Standing on top of the cliff looking down onto the beach is a nice photo. Basically as you drive into Perranporth follow the road to the left right up the cliff, you'll come to a car park at the top so park in there.

Be warned though Perranporth is chocca block with tourists at the moment (as is the rest of Cornwall), you probably will find the best opportunities are very early in the morning or late at night.

Plenty of nice places around there, you can wander around the cliffs from Perran to St Agnes which is all quite pretty. There's plenty of nice walking around the north coast in Holywell, and Crantock areas too which aren't far from Perran.

Where abouts are you staying?

You can get some nice sunsets from the beach itself too

Agree with above ^^^^^
Also, get youself down to the beach before sunset, the large rock that juts out of the sand can be spectacular when surrounded by pools of water (subject to tide).
Get on any cliff and look at the sea at sunset, no better place to be.

The big rock (I think it's called Chapel Rock) is a good focal point, especially if the tide is up - I got this down there in April on a nice day:

And this on a not so nice day:

The coastal walk round to St Agnes has some great scenery and old tin mines (if you're after that sort of thing) and there's a nice pub to stop at in St Agnes

St Ives is probably worth a visit, the light is meant to be really clean with a slight blue tint as it's surrounded by water on 3 sides but it was tipping it down when we went so I couldn't say for sure!
