With short breaks from £119, Haven guests and their four-legged friends can enjoy incredible scenery close to the sea
Perranporth Beach in Cornwall is one of the UK’s most popular and highly rated beaches, known for its stunning Atlantic views, three miles of golden sand, and excellent surf. Named the sixth most beautiful beach in the UK by Iglu Cruise based on Tripadvisor reviews, it offers a range of activities from swimming and snorkelling to horse riding.
The popular beach is also dog-friendly all year round, although dogs must be on a lead on the main beach during July and August. A great place to escape for an early summer break, beach lovers and their four legged friends have found affordable accommodation just along the coastline.
Haven Holidays offers family-friendly getaways at scenic UK coastal locations, with a wide range of activities and entertainment. One of its most popular parks, Perran Sands, is just a short drive away from the award winning beach at Perranporth.
