Carlyon Bay: new perspectives

With photographer Nick Pumphrey

Two beaches. Both rich in mining heritage and a community brought together by saltwater activities. Both evoking unique beach atmospheres, water conditions and coastlines. Swapping the north coast swell of Trevaunance Cove for glassy south coast waters, local photographer Nick Pumphrey captures the essence of Carlyon Bay for another Your Beach. Found beach takeover.

Join Nick (this time on the water rather than in it), as he discovers Carlyon Bay from a different perspective. From dramatically towering clifftops to remote sandy coves and wildlife along the way, soak up the spirit of this location through Nick’s photo gallery…
