The Beaches
So we might be stating the obvious here, but they deserve a
place on our list for sure. When I think about the beaches, oodles of amazing
memories, from early childhood to present day, come flooding back to me and a
huge smile appears on my face.
A beach is such a generic term, but each one has it’s own
personality, it’s own attitude and it’s own hidden secrets. Two of our
favourites are Gorran Haven, which sits on the most eastern point of the
Roseland Peninsula and Porthpean, our local beach and the home of many happy
times.
Picture a traditional family beach and you'll envision Gorran Haven. This beautiful beach isn't the biggest about but on a sunny day it's the place to be if you want to leave Cornwall glowing. It's also the perfect location for a spot of wave jumping and swimming fun, or, if you're a little braver, give kayaking a go.
Porthpean: a clean unspoilt beach that will always have a place in my heart. I've grown up skimming stones as the tide comes in and I'll be honest, I'm still no better at it than I was back then. If you're down there when the tides out then be sure to check out the rock pools to the right of the beach, it's amazing what sort of treasures you can find in there.
We're very lucky to have all these amazing beaches right on our doorstep and we've still got so many left to explore. We'd love for you to share your favourite beaches with us below...who knows they may become one of our favourites too!
