Looking Through The Dunes ...

Holywell Bay, Cornwall

One of my favourite places on the planet. Holywell Bay is a small village on the north coast of Cornwall about 5 miles from Newquay (and 5 miles from Perranporth). Holywell Bay beach is a large, sandy beach with rolling dunes behind the beach, rock pools and a slow running stream. Breathtakingly beautiful!

    Thank you Peter, the little river you see at the side used to be filled with gorgeous shiny shells, as a child I spent many hours there gathering and playing. Your comments on my work always lift me, your very kind.

    Wow – this is so beautiful and tranquil, love how the dunes frame the scene and the sandy path draws you inwards, towards the tantalisingly blue water peeking out from behind the rocks – wonderful work, love it!

  • Tainia Finlay replied
