Par is a small coastal village on Cornwall’s south coast between St Austell and Fowey, with a long sandy beach backed by dunes and a nearby nature reserve that birdwatchers know well. It sits close to Charlestown, the Eden Project and the Luxulyan Valley, which makes it a handy, quieter base for this stretch of coast.
