Trying to identify a beach in cornwall

[Uhtred]

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

North or south coast?

best guess is north

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.

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.
