Porthcurno beach

Posted by Genevieve Monaghan 15 February 2007

We went to Porthcurno beach in Cornwall and when the tide was low we could walk round to another beach and it was hidden.

We were the only people on this beach and water wasn't very deep for a long way out. In the shallow water there were lots of little fish we could catch and rock pools filled with little crabs. When the tide was coming in and we had to leave the beach Mum and Dad got us to walk up the cliff path to the Minack Theatre.

We had the best cream tea with lots and lots of strawberry jam and we sat outside and looked over the rocky cliffs and could see the beach we had been on.
