Season: autumn

The bright sunshine led me away from the harbour to the beach at Charlestown this morning.  An ebb tide had left a pristine beach in its wake, with clear rock pools and glistening rocks exposed as the sea fell away.  The sun had risen in the east, throwing bright lines out behind the masts of the tall ships that filled the inner harbour.

Season: winter

The tide had fallen back, but this visit followed a stormy spell of high spring tides and an onshore wind that had scattered marine debris over both of the beaches overnight. Weekend visitors to the picturesque inner harbour were therefore able to enjoy the beach in the aftermath.  Charlestown is well worth a visit at any time of the year, with an excellent maritime museum, attractive shops, pubs and a café, plus the Tall Ships in the inner harbour.

    Hi,
    What a fantastic website.

    My family and I visit Charlestown each year on holiday from the South West coast of Scotland.

    The videos on your website are fantastic and I never tire of seeing Charlestown. It’s a lovely place.

    Thanks for sharing.
