Perranporth

The sun was shining when we left Plymouth, but the forecast was for showers.  When we arrived it was sunny but windy.  We drank our coffee sat in the car looking out on to the beach.  It was high tide and the surf was up, but the waves were not  as large as had been forecast.

We started to walk westward towards St Agnes.  From the cliff top we had a great view across the bay.

The waves were crashing against the rocks further along the cliff.

The heather was just beginning to come out which made the scenery even more beautiful.

It was so windy we did not fancy walking on the cliff edge so we headed inland on a path, this lead to a disused mining work and the path disappeared.  After sheltering while a shower went through we walked back to the coast and followed the coast path back to Perranporth.

After lunch we walked along the beach.  The tide was still in so we could not walk around the rocks but had to climb up the sand dunes.  We continued through the dunes until we came to Perran Sands where there was a concrete path down to the beach.

We walked all the way along the sand to the end (Ligger Point).  We then turned around and came back.  Because the tide had gone out we were able to stay on the beach all the way back to our car.
