Photos of a beach at Cornwall

While it was still nippy, we decided to go off to check one of the few sandy beaches in Cornwall. This beach is famous for its surfing activities but bloody hell, it was seriously windy and cold. So the aged P’s were nicely deposited in a cafe overlooking the beach with some hot drinks while we decided to take off on an trip up the beach.

over the past millions of years, the rock has been worn away forming these channels.
