When the weather's right we can be, and often are, on the beach in half an hour. One advantage of being equidistant from each coast is that you can choose your destination based on conditions. Cornwall being a peninsula, even if the weather is dull on one coast, it might be gloriously sunny on the other. Again, we can usually make recommendations, based on reports from friends in the various corners of the Duchy, or intuition (not always reliable!), or even, in this day and age, webcam pictures.
