Hawker's Cove


A nice way to approach Hawker's Cove is along the coast path from Padstow, a 30 minute walk. Today the water is almost at its highest, and there is no beach at all for most of the way - and even when you get there, it is only the merest sliver of sand. Sit here on the dunes and watch the sun setting in clear sky and the calm sea begin to ebb. Regretfully I set off and it is only on the long trail back, after sundown, that gentler colours paint the skies and a ring of purple violet haze circles the horizon.
