What a wonderful website. I have been in love with Cornwall and in particular the coast for many years, visiting as often as I can. As I live as far away from the sea as anyone can be (slap bang in the middle of England), your site is a breath of fresh air for me as I can get my 'fix' via my computer every day. Thank-you so, so much.

I was so happy to hear about your project on BBC Scotland. I absolutely love the beach. I grew up next to one in Broughty Ferry, Dundee and walked on the beach at least 3 or 4 times a week, especially when I moved to St Andrews. I am never happier than when on the beach and nothing calms me down more after a bad day than the feeling of sand in between my toes and watching the waves, occasionally even going in for a dip!

We met recently at Cley when you interviewed Amy and me while we were birdwatching. I watched the interview back and shared it with friends on Facebook. One of them commented that I was the second person he knew that had been interviewed, so I looked at some more stories from my old haunts in Cornwall and found another two people I know! Simon from Portscatho and Jo on Porthcurnick! So it turns out beaches are a good way to keep up with old friends too! I'll keep an eye open for any more. Keep up the good work!

I really enjoy what you are doing with this project. I live in Manchester and visit Cornwall as much as I can. Keep up the good work, as it is appreciated over 300 miles away!
Ps we love Gorran Haven
Kath Mulligan at Trevone Bay:
Love your films, watch them every day to get a small fix of Cornwall up here in Derbyshire. My daughters and I were the only people on Trevone Bay beach in November 2010 in horizontal rain and very strong winds watching some spectacular waves breaking up and over the rocks at the entrance to the bay. It was truly awe inspiring. I love my beaches to be deserted so that I can feel at one with nature, hate it when they're crowded in mid summer, so always try to visit in the quieter months.

What a lovely website, you can smell the sea air and feel the breeze in your films. I love Cornwall and am lucky enough to spend a lot of time in Lamorna Cove, really love the films from there.

We had our family holidays at Hayle Towans in the early to mid sixties. We always had the same chalet 'Clonmore'. My last visit was in 1975.
Thanks for showing your videos, they've taken an old man back to his childhood. I've always wanted to go back and see the place again. One day perhaps for real, but your images will keep me going.

You can almost feel the sand beneath your feet, a truly inspirational site.
I now live in the Lake District but originate from Hampshire, I do miss walking along the beach on a windy weekend... Thank you for sharing your visits!

Thanks for the opportunity to say something about Wells beach. As you note, it is the most amazingly beautiful beach - def. the 'wonder & awe' category. Takes my breath away every time I see it. Utterly peaceful. We were there in early November for a family party - my kids, their kids, my brothers and sister, partners and some old friends. We all love Wells - it has been a constant in our lives as we all move around the country. The area is managed by the Holkham Estate and a nature reserve runs along the back of the dunes, which as well as the beach, goes all the way to Holkham and beyond. Fishing vessels still go in and out of the harbour, passing along the channel, as well as, now, the wind-farm support boats. Sailing and windsurfing also.
A great project and website.

Just wanted to say thanks for interviewing my Dad Paul on Marazion beach and posting the video. I live in Montreal Canada and rarely get to see him, so this was a real treat! Great blog - keep up the good work!

I spent my early years in Cornwall and on its beaches. Now living in Australia, so this is just to say thanks for a brilliant website and for giving me the opportunity to revisit many of my old haunts! :)

Although my holiday is burnt into my memory and will never be forgotten, to actually watch me 'live' via your wonderful site is an added bonus. It was a pleasure to have met you. Here's to the next time, whatever beach that may be!!
Wendy Bigelow on manonabeach Facebook:
I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you getting out everyday and showing me more places to visit when I come home. My sister turned me on to your page a month or so ago and I love to wake up every morning to your beautiful pictures. I live in Cibolo Texas and although it is beautiful here on the edge of the Hill Country, I look forward to being able to wander along those beaches! Thanks again!!!
Diana Waters on manonabeach Facebook:
I've followed your posts on Twitter but you're the reason I've returned to Facebook! As I love looking at your latest photos (Cornwall is my little bit of heaven!) - your photos are my little 'fix' - thank you! Keep those pictures and vids coming... 'life's a beach!'
Carol White on manonabeach Facebook, re. Towan Roseland 4 film:
There is nothing quite like the sound of the sea - so restful when waves are lapping the shore like this. I will be watching this video again and again. Thank you.

Living in the Midlands is very frustrating for a sea lover like me but your site will keep me going between my visits. When little as a family we headed for Woolacombe – lovely . Now we’re a little older Cornwall’s the way. Coverack, St Ives, etc. etc . Love the site.
