Some of my earliest childhood memories are of the beach-in the hot sun, building sandcastles, burying Dad
in the sand.
Now the coast has a strangely-pleasant and relaxing attraction. I look forward to a windy clifftop (崖顶)
walk or a rainy day rockpicking just as much as those rare moments when I get to a short sleep in the sun. But
there's nothing more pleasurable than turning up at a beach to find it deserted.
These are my favorite secret beaches-ones either not well known or take a bit of effort to get to. Most of
those listed scored highly in the Marine Conservation Society Good Beach Guide 2009; the others are too secret
even for them.
Sennen Cove is just a mile northeast of Land's End, the westernmost point of mainland England. It's a
beautiful spot, with white sands, deep green sea and amazing sunsets over the Isles (群岛) of Scilly, 28 miles
away.
The west-facing beach is popular with surfers, with bigger waves and winds often found at the Gwenver
end. There's a beach restaurant with good views of the bay and the sunsets.
The smallest of Isles of Soilly, Bryher is a mile long, half a mile wide-and a natural wilderness of unbelievable
scenery. Walk along the narrow sandy roads to the eastern seaboard and you come to two quiet beaches.
Green Bay has views over to the palm (棕榈]) trees of Tresco's Abbey Gardens, and a little further south is
Rushy Bay, a beautiful beach facing the deserted island of Samson.
On Bryher, farm shops sell locally grown produce, and they trust you to leave the money in the pot. It's that
kind of place.
