It's already September, and more than 10 weeks since my last Cornish beach! Most of the holiday crowds seem already to have left Cornwall, disappointed with this year's wet and windy season. But here today, we enjoy an Indian summer. Sailboats are dotted all along this coast, some anchored just off several small coves approachable only by sea. This tiny one, reached by a scramble off the coast path, is just below St. Anthony's lighthouse, and completely deserted. Today the lighthouse is asleep in the sun; and standing alone on the rocks and this peaceful bit of sand uncovered by the tide I know for sure that neither the famed Amalfi coast nor the Red Sea resorts have anything to compare with these beaches of home...
