The view, the beach, the excuse that it’s just too difficult to get back up that hill
In a county of pretty good beaches, Praa Sands is right up there, waving its blue flag with pride and cleaning its own sands every day with a gentle tide. Its wide, flat reach and safe waters mean it’s popular with families; the reliable waves are popular with surferdads, while the athletic surfers and bronzed lifeguards are popular with the mums. Yes, it’s a popular old place, but there’s plenty of room for everybody. From its bird’s-eye vantage point above all this hubbub, Higher Pentreath Farm surveys the day. It watches the crack-of-dawn surfers, the pre-breakfast dog-walkers and the café coffee-sippers. It watches the day-trippers come and go and the evening joggers to and fro. And as the setting sun lights the bay with the golden tones of summer evenings, those lucky campers at Higher Pentreath Farm need only to step outside their tents to appreciate this special cove. The three fields that form the site offer increasingly better views the higher up you go; but the payback of this hillside location is the sloping ground, so be prepared. It’s also worth noting that the slope to the beach makes it quick and easy to get to, but exponentially harder to get back from. Better just to sit and watch it all from your camping chair. Another beer anyone?
