Goonhavern

Goonhavern is a small, coastal village located in Cornwall, England. Situated on the north coast, it lies between the popular surfing destinations of Perranporth and St Agnes. The village itself is characterized by its relatively undeveloped nature, offering a quieter alternative to some of the larger, more bustling tourist hubs in the region.

Historically, Goonhavern has been associated with agriculture and fishing, traditional Cornish industries. While these activities still play a role, tourism has become a significant economic driver, particularly during the summer months. The proximity to the sea and its sandy beaches makes it an attractive location for visitors seeking a traditional seaside holiday experience.

The village is home to a scattering of residential properties, a local pub, and a small general store. Amenities are limited, reflecting its compact size and rural setting. The surrounding landscape is typical of the Cornish coast, featuring rolling hills, dramatic cliffs, and access to coastal paths that are popular with walkers and hikers. Goonhavern is often used as a base for exploring the wider area, including nearby beaches and attractions. Despite its modest size, Goonhavern retains a distinct Cornish charm and a peaceful atmosphere.
