Portwrinkle Beach
My parents used to take me there after school sometimes on their half day off from Menheniot C0-Op in the 1950s and early 1960s when I was a child. It was a steep climb down to the beach from the road but worth the effort. ...Read more

My parents took us to Kilchattan Bay every year from the mid 1960s. As far as my sister and I were concerned we didn't want to go anywhere else but KB. Used to love climbing the Suidhe which was a ritual for all Glasgow ...Read more

This view shows Carbis Bay when it was still largely undeveloped, with just a scattering of houses above the cliffs overlooking the sandy beach.
Close to the point where the cliffs begin to rise from the beach at Southwold is the Sailor's Reading Room.
Here you can see the wide range of entertainment on offer on the beach. On the left, the tea tent was run by the Castle Coffee House, based in Castle Street.
The photographer has moved in closer to the beach to take this picture, although still concentrating on the same area as the former one.The Shrubbery Gardens, above the sun shelter, are well used
The narrow Trebarwith valley emerges at the north Cornish coast; here Trebarwith Strand presents a good beach of golden sand, but all vanishes at high tide.
The timber-framed Tudor Moot Hall is situated next to the beach.
Wildersmouth Bay was the original bathing beach of the town; those beaches to the west only became accessible after the drafting in of Welsh miners to dig the tunnels by which they are now reached.
Then, as now, the beach was popular with children, who here play at the water's edge whilst older boys admire the moored fishing boat.
This is a remarkable view—not least because of the 'kreemy toffee' advertised on the left, showing that incorrect spelling has been used in advertising for many years.
The line of beach-huts makes a striking background to this picture of a father and son sea fishing from the pebbly beach.
This photograph was taken from Gyllyngvase Beach. In the middle distance is Swanpool Point; hidden beyond it is Swanpool Beach, another favoured smuggling spot.
The little valley of Trenarren reaches the coast just to the west of Black Head, and the stream cascades over the cliff onto the beach.
The 'Droch' or Cave of Beauty is regarded as the finest at Lydstep Cavern Beach.

Highcliffe was well and truly within the county of Hampshire until the latter half of the 20th century, and it remains close to the Hampshire border.
During the first quarter of the 20th century Worthing's beach was very popular with visitors and inhabitants alike.
Lines of wind shelters adorn the beach at the popular Yorkshire coast resort of Filey. Once a fashionable beach accessory, they are seldom seen today, so perhaps it was windier in the Fifties!
Studland has one of the best and least tampered-with beaches in Dorset - a real reminder of those halcyon days when such luminaries as George III promoted the merits of sea bathing.
Sidmouth's pebbly beach has never deterred sea bathers and paddlers, though building sandcastles was a harder task.
Still a popular beach today, particularly with locals, the Pebble Ridge is a long low expanse protecting the entrance to the Taw and Torridge estuary.
Outdoor holidays are being pioneered here, with just a few tents and caravans on the edge of the beach at Sconhoe Farm.
These boats up on the pink shingle beach are probably rowing boats for hire - they were painted red, white and blue.
At low tide Porth Beach becomes a sandy inlet on the east side of Newquay, but here the tide is in, with Porth Island and Trevelgue Head seen across the water.
