Pendower Beach, Cornwall

A mile long gorgeous sandy beach - best visited in the winter months with your dog, avoiding the emmets!  Just kidding, holidaymakers make a beach, right?  Right?  Although....empty and quiet and peaceful is how I prefer it - sorry!

There is also a hotel with a bar open to non-residents so if you go in the high season you can sit outside and enjoy a pint of west country zyder or a cream tea.  

If you are into fossil hunting, this website is quite informative - http://www.pendower.ukfossils.co.uk/
