Crantock is on the North coast, just west of Pentire Point outside Newquay. There is a small river that disappears into the sea here, on the right of the picture. Crantock is deep and quite long, one of the prettier beaches on this stretch of coastline. When the weather is fine, there is the large mass of dunes to explore as well as the beach itself, and there are a few tidal pools at the far end. The photo is actually deceptive, because today gale force winds blew relentlessly in off the sea, creating gossamer sheets of fine sand flying a foot above the ground. Nearer the water’s edge, this became a fine curtain of spray, and the surf further out was heavy and messy, a constant roar... A bracing rather than contemplative walk that puts you in touch with the elements.
