A little challenge if anyone is bored, or happens to know the area well. I went to a beach in 2007 and for the life of me I can't remember where it is and searching on goolge maps hasn't come up with anything. I'd like to go back some day as it was a very nice beach, quite small and out of the way.

So here are the pictures...

The sun seemed to be setting over the sea but other than that i'm clueless :D

I've only been to 2 places in Cornwall, Penzance and Padstow, both as a child. With that in mind I would guess thats south, possibly around Penzance.
 
You owe me at least one e-cookie but that is Hemmick Beach on the South Coast near Penare.

My process was:

1) That's the South Coast because you have the Lizard to your right facing the water.
2) Working your way east from about Falmouth on MSN Live on Earth view you get a decent idea about the various little coves.
3) The beach nearest Penare had a fairly similar rock structure to the ones in your photo.
4) Googling for 'beaches near Penare' came up with this site with a tagline "Mar 4, 2011 – House in Penare The car park for Hemmick Beach should be ..."
5) Googling for Hemmick Beach went to this site:

Which gave you this photo:

Which looks remarkably similar to your photo here - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/724635/OCUK/Cornwall 2007 (120).JPG

BOOM and there goes the dynamite.

Damn, i think i know that beach, if it's near Bude, then i definitely have been there.

Edit, it's on the Plymouth side, so no.

You see, I knew someone on here would be able to work it out, I failed completely, although I did look at one slightly up from Hemmick.

Anyway thanks for that, i certainly owe you a cookie.
 
I was hedging a bet it was down falmouth/penzance way.


Looked at swanpool but kinda gave up after that, good to know you got there in the end.
