We arrived in Cornwall on Monday evening. - Dan had returned from his charity cycle ride on Sunday night... the following day we headed off for our summer adventure.
As soon as we got to the cottage, we threw our bags in and immediately headed to the beach.
Sennen Cove.
It was our first time at this beach.. and it took our breaths away.
I am actually in LOVE with it.
Wild, natural, beautiful.
Much like beaches in med.... white sand and turquoise sea.
On that first evening, the tide rolled in fast and furious... on lookers on the beach shrieking as the waves engulfed their towels.
It felt alive, wild and full of energy. Surfers braved the Atlantic Ocean, children dug moats and squealed with delight as the waves knocked them off their feet.
We had FOUND our beach... the bar was set high.
Every day we returned here. Early in the morning for breakfast, frying bacon on our little burner. Staying until lunchtime, heading off to a garden when the sun became to hot to handle. Then returning for a beach BBQ in the evening, to watch the sunset.
It reminded me of years of travelling... my days spent worshipping the sun.
Bliss.

Oh beautiful images. And I love that you 'found your beach'. Isn't that the family dream? x
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit in love with this post- sounds and look idyllic! Jxx
ReplyDeleteSennen Beach really is The beach to go. I'm so glad you have discovered it. My Cornish family members love it. I have a niece living there and it is a fab place for her to walk the dogs. You obviously had a holiday to remember. Ann x
ReplyDeletePerfect! The sunsets in Cornwall are magical aren't they! xxx
ReplyDeleteWow - looks beautiful and such gorgeous pictures. I'm off to Cornwall at the end of August - I've never been before but I'm missing the beaches of Australia at the moment, so can't wait to be back near the ocean. x
ReplyDeleteI've really enjoyed your Cornwall posts this week Lou - looks like you were blessed with the most gorgeous weather. Really, really lush photos, full of atmosphere and radiating happiness. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, your two little boys look so cute, sounds like a great place.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend! x
Oh I love that beach, and Barbara Hepworth's garden is one of my most favourite places. So envious of the weather you had... We were away the week before, camping in a very rainy and cold Devon. (Mortehoe and Woolacombe, also amazing beaches). x
ReplyDeleteYay, so glad you love it so - I had a feeling you would! Hope you don't mind us sharing 'your beach'!? xx
ReplyDeleteoooh, this makes me excited for holidays, just hope we get some sunshine too. We often stay near Sennen - I really love the craggy coves around Porth Curno, did you make it that way? I can almost feel that sand between my toes - great photos (as usual)!
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastic!!! I especially LOVE the shot of the boys watching the sunset! I'm glad you had such a fabulous holiday! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteSennen is also one of my favourites, after Porthmeor and Porthgwidden in St Ives. There's a lovely art gallery at the far end of the beach. You're right about the speed of the incoming tide. We once almost lost our beach tent when we left it to go for a walk up the hill. We got back just as the waves were lapping the edges. Phew!
