Cornwall Beach of the Day

Cornwall, at Britain’s southwesterly tip, is virtually surrounded by sea with beaches sprinkled about much of its 300 miles of stunning coastline. This is a log of my continuing project to try to visit a different Cornish beach every day (or as often as circumstances permit), and to post a photograph of that visit as soon as possible. I have set myself no hard and fast rules, and aim to work simply within the spirit of the project. I started this project on 31 January, 2007.

Porthluney

Some people may think of this as Caerhayes, after the castle and little village nearby. The startlingly tall magnolia trees at Caerhayes are now already in bloom, standing out against the setting of imposing castle (folly?) and the dark trees behind. Today the sun is only just sometimes barely visible behind the clouds, and a silver grey light makes the sea and beach seem softly luminous.
