We did Mawgan Porth last week and Watergate Bay a couple of times….spent quite a few days at Seaton Beach which the boys enjoyed (both under 10)….head home on Sat too. But, we are lazy so staying at Chard for a night (lovely Italian restaurant a mile from the campsite!) making it two hours of dragging a caravan each day!

Wasn't today but last weekend we picked up our van and went straight out in it - we went to Cresswell in Northumberland (not too far from where we live). Found a great little spot close to the beach.

Had a nice little BBQ on the beach that night then we got up in the morning for some paddle boarding (the beaches that way are superb) - we even spotted some dolphins!

This was the spot: ( United Kingdom - NE61 ), Unnamed Road
There were a few other vans there, but was quiet - spot on really!

I grew up there, if you visit in the winter you can paddleboard along the road when it gets a good swamping from a storm.

Yep, I had a look at Feb 2014 storm on YouTube. Unfortunately, the glass and stainless merchants have been let loose again!

It was always a swamp but got developed for tourism. The only structure that survived unscathed by the sea was a row of WW2 concrete tank stops, these were removed by the council as they were unsightly!?!?

Not the greatest pic of the van but we at Pembroke Castle and managed to spot the van in the distance from the castle walls. Epic views from around here.

That’s my kind of parking space, nobody can dent your doors there.
