Famed across the UK for our stunning beaches and dramatic scenery, we all know how busy beauty spots in the summer can get. It's for this reason that some West Country locals like to avoid tourist traps during high season.

Call me mad but for just a few hours I went the full faux-emmet and joined the suncream-shining throng amid overpriced crab sandwiches and overfed seagulls in Mevagissey.
