Crystal blue sea, splendid turquoise waters, long stretch of sandy beach, sparking golden sand on the Atlantic coast, spectacular and picturesque... These are just few description of the beaches here in Cornwall. No wonder, loads of people come down to spend their summer holiday here.
Since I am still self-isolating/shielding, I will just have a "Virtual Beach-ing in Cornwall". Feels like I didn't miss a thing.
I will be posting my photos and videos on my website as well on my Social Media: Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

"Virtual Beach-ing in Hemmick Beach"
Virtual Beach-ing in "Hemmick Beach", my favourite beach in Cornwall. Access is via a very steep narrow lane and only few parking spaces which is great coz it's never crowded. The view going down the steep narrow lane is just secatuclar and when you reach the beach it's more breathtaking.
Author David Clegg describes the beach as "small and sandy and just one lovely granite cottage", while the Rough Guide to Britain notes the rocky outcrops, inlets and coves in the vicinity. 0.75 miles (1.21 km) to the east is Lambsoden Cove, accessed via a coastal footpath.
The beach contains the tall grey-flowered plant dittander and reed grass, which typically grows between 8 and 12 feet high.
In 1971, British vessel Ewt 263 was being towed from Santander to Rotterdam by the tug Britannia when she broke in half off Lizard Point. The stern section was towed into Falmouth and the bow section was believed to be washed up between Hemmick beach and Dodman Point.

"Virtual Beach-ing in Porthluney Beach, also known as Caerhays Beach"
Virtual Beach-ing in "Porthluney Beach, also known as Caerhays Beach", sits in the shadow of Caerhays Castle. They have a lovely cafe, and sometimes outdoor cinema and an acoustic beach sessions too in the evening. A great place to unwind after a busy day at work.
"Virtual Beach-ing in Breakneck Beach also known as Treloan Cove and Peter's Splash"
Virtual Beach-ng in "Breakneck Beach also known as Treloan Cove and Peter's Splash", the most idyllic, quiet and relaxing beach I've been to in Cornwall. We never see anyone whenever we come here. It's always deserted It's just us and the beach. A happy place.
At Breakneck, there is little or no beach at high water, but when the tide is out, a gently shelving beach of coarse sand and fine shingle is exposed which give way to flat rock outcrops below. In between the two beaches (about 100m) there is a rocky foreshore and patches of shingle. There is a narrow strip of sand and shingle above high water at Peter’s Splash and when the tide is out it is over 200m long.

"Virtual Beach-ing in Towan Beach"
Virtual Beach-ng in "Towan Beach" on the Roseland Peninsula. It's a beautiful secluded bay with shallow calm waters, perfect for swimming, kayaking, boating or just a quiet, relaxing day by the sea. At high tide it is a sand and shingle beach, with rock pools revealed at low tide.
"Virtual Beach-ing in Whipsiderry Beach"
Virtual Beach-ng in "Whipsiderry Beach", voted in the top 20 of Europe’s Best Beaches in the Sunday Times. It's a gorgeous, quiet and sheltered beach, surrounded by spectacular cliffs and rock pools and caves that offer hours of fun exploring. At low tide these rock pools and caves are revealed.
A large island known as Black Humphrey Rock or Flory Island stands in the middle of the beach. It has its own small cave, probably the result of it being mined for its ore in the past. It is believed to be named after the notorious smuggler, who is thought to have lived here in the old mine workings until his death in the early 19th century.
Cathedral Cavern (The Banqueting Hall) can be found at the southern end of the beach and Fern Cavern is towards the north.
At low tide the beach is a half mile long (600 metres). At high water there is little in the way of sand and the beach more or less disappears.
The unusual name Whipsiderry comes from the tiny hamlet just inland which is named from 'whips' and 'derrick' which means a 'digger', 'miner' or 'sexton'.

"Virtual Beach-ing in Booby's Bay"
Virtual Beach-ng in "Booby's Bay", one of the the Seven Bays of St Merryn. It's a beautiful, isolated beach, only becomes accessible at low tide when golden sands are revealed along with the ribs of a German WWI shipwreck. Great rock pools are also exposed to explore. There are some fantastic cliffwalks including a collapsed sea cave called "Round Hole".
"Virtual Beach-ing in Hallane"
Virtual Beach-ng in "Hallane", a small secluded beach and involves an attractive walk from the carpark. I've never seen anyone from all the years that we've come to this beach. So peaceful and quiet. All you hear is the beautiful sound of the waves and the chirping of the birds.
Hallane is stony above high water and as the tide recedes a gently shelving beach of sand, shingle and stone emerges and at low water there are large areas of flat rocks. Either side of the beach is made up of stones and boulders. A waterfall cascades onto the beach. The beach is overlooked by high cliffs known as .The Vans.
