An embodiment of the invention provides a perpendicular magnetic recording media which restrains grain size dispersion of magnetic particles, has good recording regeneration characteristic, and can record in high density. The perpendicular magnetic recording media comprises a substrate, a base layer formed on the substrate, and a magnetic recording layer which is formed on the base layer and uses a direction vertical to a film surface as an easy magnetization axis. The base layer is provided with a plurality of projections arranged at 1 nm to 20 nm interval. The magnetic recording layer comprises a plurality of magnetic particles respectively formed in a manner that the top ends begin to expand from the surfaces of the projections of the base layer, and at least the magnetic particles on the projection side are separated.
