St Agnes

With the demise of mining, St.Agnes has become a popular tourist destination and commercial hub, offering excellent beaches at Trevaunance Cove and Chapel Porth beach, and nearby Perranporth and Porthtowan.

St.Agnes is also the home of Atlantic FM, which broadcasts across the whole of Cornwall from their studios at the "Wheal Kitty Workshops. The workshops are also the base of award winning clothing company 'Finisterre'. The offices are the HQ it's UK and international operations.

St.Agnes is one of the twelve sections of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

For many years St.Agnes was home to the annual Surfers against Sewage (SAS) ball, which attracted thousands of Surfers from around Europe. The last one was in 2006.
