Par is a small coastal village on Cornwall’s south coast between St Austell and Fowey, its long sandy beach backed by dunes and best known among birdwatchers for the nearby Par Beach nature reserve.

Beyond the beach, the village sits close to Charlestown, the Eden Project and the Luxulyan Valley, making it a handy, quieter base for exploring this stretch of the south coast.

This page brings together everything we cover in Par, with detailed guides below to the best beaches, walks, places to eat and stay, and things to do in the area.
