We have spent many precious holidays at Gwithian in Cornwall where the beautiful beach goes on forever and there is not a single permanent structure or vendor. Memories of struggling up and down the cliff with huge bags of stuff to keep two young children entertained, fed and watered for the whole day. Something special about being so close to the water and away from "normal" life.

Oh Gwithian is wonderful - I spent New Years eve (and week) there with a bunch of friends a few years ago - a different type of beauty in the wind, rain and storms that week! Can't beat a good sandblasting :-)

Being so close to the sea is wonderful, I agree.

Your holiday memories sound tiring yet priceless.

Thanks for writing Amanda

One of the best family holidays we had, I constructed the most intricate tunnel Portrush strand had ever seen in three hours. Immaculate.

Washed out to sea that evening of course. Shame.
