Bedruthan Steps is a little piece of heaven

There is a stretch of beach in Cornwall, England - between Padstow and Newquay, which is called Carnewas (or Karn Havos, meaning rock-pile of summer dwelling in Corning). You can get access to the beach via the Bedruthian Steps (or Bos Rudhen, meaning Red-one's dwelling in Cornish), a flight of steep steps, which cannot be seen from the road. They are well worth looking for, however, as the views are breathtaking. There is a car park at the top.

We visited during low tide, meaning that we could go down on the beach and walk on it. There were signs everywhere warning visitors not to swim due to heavy rips, fast tides and submerged rocks.



Almost all rocks were covered by something...


…and when we looked closer it was clams!


They urge you not to swim in the ocean… Surfers don't always follow the rules… 


Everyone was playing on the beach - both small...


…and large
