We'll be heading down to the North Cornwall coast for a family holiday later in the year, between Newquay and Padstow. Any tips for good coastal landscape photography spots in this area? I'm sure there are lots of explore, but I'd welcome any advice!

It's a family holiday, but I'll be looking to get out for sunrise/sunset on my own assuming the little un's don't keep us up during the night (wishful thinking!) Might even try my hand at a bit of astro if I get chance and conditions permit...
 
We'll be heading to Tintagel in 4 weeks so I'm interested to read any (useful) replies.

I'll keep an eye out for a slightly smaller hammer than your father's :D
 
There are so many.... My Brother lives in St Mawgan, and every time we're down there I find a new spot. My latest find was Porthcothan Beach. If you catch it at low tide you can shoot with the islands in shot. But, beware, the tide comes in quickly :eek:

I'll add that to the list, looks a lovely spot - lovely image :)
 
Well I bought the book suggested - looks a good choice so far, thanks for the tip...
 
Well, we just got back - weather was a mixed bag, lovely and the start and end of the break and dull in the middle. Still managed to get out for a couple of photography sessions though amongst the family time which was fab :)
