Penhale Sands


For reasons unclear to me, Penhale Sands appears to be "blue flagged" as a separate beach, but it's really a continuation of Perranporth - Penhale is backed by imposingly high and deep dunes, and not easily reached except via the former. Between them they stretch out along some two and a half miles of northern coastline, and as far as I can tell I am the only person on it. This afternoon, the intermittent rains become torrential, and in seconds I am absolutely drenched, completely if somewhat miserably in touch with the elements. But what a marvellously empty view...
