"Bedruthan Steps is a well-known spot about 6 miles north of Newquay. The drive to get up here is beautiful, and you'll go over cliffs and down into valleys with little settlements several times before you get to the spot. There's parking on the cliff top, and from there, a very long flight of well-maintained wooden steps down onto the beach. You descend the equivalent of about 7 stories to find yourself, if the tide permits, on a broad stretch of golden sand sheltered by the cliffs ringing it. The rock at your back is stripped in lovely colours, and you'll find caves created by the pounding waves at the bottom of the cliffs. The cliffs form a wonderful sun trap here, and if it's a sunny day, you'll find that it's warm down here, even if you were chilly up top."
