Cornwall

Praa Sands -2
Located in Mount's bay, the biggest bay in Cornwall, Praa Sands is half way between Penzance and Helston. The main sandy beach stretches for about a mile, and this panorama was taken towards the eastern end which is covered in large pebbles. On the horizon you can just see three oil tankers waiting for the price to rise before unloading their valuable cargo.
