Porth Nanven

My first trip to Porth Nanven, somewhere I’ve been wanting to get to for a long time! I knew the conditions were not going to be ideal as the tide was coming it and high-tide was due not long after sunset but it’s not too often I get this deep into Cornwall so I decided to make the trip.

 

When I arrived I was surprised by the amount of seaweed on the beach, this made it really tricky to get down to the shore as you couldn’t tell where the rocks were… each footstep sent your foot sliding left or right as the seaweed slipped over the boulders. After a few minutes of clambering I made it over to the rocks with enough time to get a few shots of the famous rocks, which have earned it the nick-name “Dinosaur Egg Beach”.

 

All too soon I was forced to retreat and bumped into Andrew Hocking, another local photographer who told me about the next beach over which is also worth a look, even if it is tricky to get to… it turns out I was already following him on Flickr and he was following me, I would recommend looking out for his work!
