[Cornwall] The perfect encounter of golden beaches, world-class waves and sunset

Blue water, golden sand, enjoy the sea breeze blowing in your face, watch the surfers surfing, say goodbye to the cold, and welcome the vibrant summer. The sea here is not the Mediterranean laziness, but the Atlantic Ocean's poetry written by wind and waves. Porthcurno Beach: crescent-shaped white sand beach, Tiffany blue water, endless ocean, backed by the open-air theater "Minack Theater", sometimes there will be theater performances, tickets must be booked in advance. Explore the reef caves at low tide, and bring your own picnic blanket for the sunset show at the theater. Fistral Beach in Newquay is the surfing capital of the UK, with golden fine sand and high waves suitable for beginners. Renting a board + course is about £45/2 hours. The "Boardmasters Music Festival" is also held in September every year to experience the double attack of surfing + open-air concerts. Kynance Cove was voted as "Europe's Most Beautiful Bay" by the BBC. The contrast between the red and green rock walls and the creamy white sand is magical. At low tide, walk to the sea cave "The Drawing Room" and take selfies with the natural rock frame. Transportation It takes about 5 hours from London. The A30 road is picturesque and stops at "Dartmoor National Park" along the way. Train to Penzance, transfer to the bus "Land's End Coaster" for a day ticket of £10, connecting the main beaches. Cornwall is famous for its seafood dishes Fish & Chips (fried cod £14, with lemon mayonnaise), which is delicious, and there are also cream scones + clotted cream + jam £5).
