Season: autumn
This was a great surprise, after an aborted trip to Tintagel. I caught Trebarwith Strand at high tide in the sunshine, with a stark and dramatic distinction between the black rocks and white surf crashing in on clean sets of waves. It was a relentless and mesmerising experience to witness, as you can see by the reaction of my interviewee. There are toilets, a café and a shop here, as well as parking at hand. Although it’s a fine beach at all tide levels, try to get there at high tide to see what I mean.

Season: winter
There was bright sunshine for the last day of the manonabeach® winter season. I re-visited Trebarwith Strand, a breathtakingly beautiful cove, just round from Tintagel. Clean Atlantic breakers rolled relentlessly against the black rock, the white spray framed in a bright blue sky.

Season: summer
It was high tide again on this occasion. There’s a magical atmosphere at Trebarwith Strand, harmonious and inclusive. The setting for this small cove and the expansive beach is without pretension, so natural beauty is at the front of people’s minds. There’s outstanding walking here on the cliffs above the strand.
