PERRANPORTH BEACH, CORNWALL - JULY 2022 - DRONE WITH A VIEW - {4K} - DRONE FOOTAGE

Published 2022-07-10
At low tide Perranporth beach and neighbouring Penhale sands join together to form one of the largest stretches of unbroken sand on the North Coast. At one end is Perranporth, the archetypal beach town with the high street backing on to the sand. Progressing towards Penhale Point an extensive network of sand dunes rise behind the beach. This is a Special Area of Conservation and also home to a buried church.

Most of Perranporth's facilities and features are located towards the town end of the beach. There are rockpools, caves, a stream and Chapel Rock, with a small bathing pool on its seaward side. A little further along is the 'Watering Hole', a pub not just overlooking the beach, but actually right on the beach.

Perranporth (Cornish: Porthperan) is a seaside resort town on the north coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is 1 mile east of the St Agnes Heritage Coastline, and around 8 miles south-west of Newquay. It has a population of 3,066, and is the largest settlement in the civil parish of Perranzabuloe. It has an electoral ward in its own name, whose population was 4,270 in the 2011 census.

The town's modern name comes from Porth Peran, the Cornish for the cove of Saint Piran, the patron saint of Cornwall. He founded St Piran's Oratory on Penhale Sands near Perranporth in the 7th century. Buried under sand for many centuries, it was unearthed in the 19th century.

The music is by Scott Buckley, the song is called Bring Me The Sky and it can be found on his website www.scottbuckley.com

The flight was recorded on a DJI Mini 3 Pro, sub 250 gram drone, following the sub 250 gram drone laws

    Thank you whoever you are. You made a video with a description that did not treat me like a dumbed down idiot.

    An excellent little film, there have been many short films of Perranporth usually accompanied with dreadful thump, thump, bloody awful music. This is head and shoulders above the rest of them, even the music blends in well. Well done.
  • I live and work in perranporth my happy place ❤thank you great video .
