The small tidal pool at Perranporth beach is not at all obvious and can be completely missed by the causal beachgoer. The pool is situated among the rockpools on the far side of the iconic Chapel Rock, and whilst it's hard to miss the huge rock with its St Piran flag on top most people head for the vast expanse of sand to the right. That said, plenty of people (read wetsuit-clad children) do find the pool and it is a pretty popular spot during the summer holidays.
