We went on a day trip along the coast. Our first stop was Crantock Beach located near Newquay on the North Cornish Coast. It has been voted best beach in Britain by the BBC.
There is a National Trust carpark and as we are members of the Trust it didnt cost us anything to park there. Many of the beaches along here are National Trust owned and the carparks are free to us which is a great saving.
The beach is accessible by very steep sand dunes, easier going down to the beach than coming back up. It is worth it though, there is a large expensive of golden sandy beach between the Pentire Headlands. apparently there is often dolphins there but not the day we visited.
From Crantock we went to Newquay.
It’s known for sandy Fistral and Watergate Bay beaches, where waves from the Atlantic Ocean create strong surf. there is also an aquarium and a zoo. Its a fairly big town as well and very popular holiday spot especially with surfers.
After Newquay we stopped off at Treyarnon Bay where Colin holidayed as a child.
We then went along to Bedruthan Steps another favourite destination.The granite rocks that are dotted across the beach are said to be stepping stones of the giant Bedruthan.
the wow factor doesn't even begin to cover it. Carnewas and Bedruthan Steps is one of the most popular destinations on the Cornish coast and is an absolute must-see. The landscape is synonymous with shipwrecks and smugglers, and the spectacular clifftop views.
Unfortunately on this visit we were unable to access the beach, via the steep steps, as the tide was in and it cuts off the beach completely. We were only able to admire the views from the cliff top.
