"So, we stumbled upon this charming little cove with a beach that was a real gem. It had a mix of shale and sand, rockpools, and was surprisingly peaceful (for Cornwall, that is). It was perfect for families, especially those with special needs, as the disabled access was top-notch. The sea was as calm as a millpond, which made for some delightful swimming. And the best part?..."
