Where is the best sea view?

“I must go down to the seas again, To the lonely sea and the sky.” (John Masefield) Never fear; I’m not about to start waxing lyrical about the sea. I quote the lines above to illustrate the fact that even the most feverish of fanatics for the sea has to admit that maritime views are limited, consisting as they do of just two lonely elements: water and sky. And it’s stretching a point to include the sky, which can equally be seen above land as above sea. So, essentially, we’re talking about water. Water, it might be argued, is not entirely monotonous to look at. The sea has moods, which it ... more

I love being beside the sea it's my idea of heaven. Just sitting watching the waves crash up against the rocks and flow gently back and forth over the sands is so peaceful and relaxing. If I ever won the lottery I would buy myself a house overlooking the sea so I could see it hear it and smell it whenever I wanted to.

You're very lucky to see a full sunset in Cornwall as the Atlantic sea can bring in cloud and mist as the day draws in, but i have been priviledged to ... more

Location: Crackington Haven is located near Bude Cornwall, it's pretty easy to get to! I'm a beach lover, who loves the sea, sun bathing and walking along the Cliffside and for me Crackington haven's got it all. I love walking out and walking right to the top of the second cliff, it's amazing up there, it as you have a pretty much 360 degree view of the sea. You can also see where the side of a part of a cliff on the other side of the beach has started to erode away, and you can notice the lines in the rock. The wind blowing on you whilst your standing up there makes you feel amazing, but be ... more
