It was a blustery November day as the car passed down a stretch of sandy track signposted “Constantine Bay”. I’ve been coming to Cornwall on holiday since I was a toddler, but my family and I had always visited in summer.
In the warmer months, the picturesque golden sweep of Constantine Bay teems with people – and it’s not hard to see why. The beach offers gentle rolling waves for wannabe surfers, sand dunes for children to slide down, rock pools to explore and a well-stocked cafe. It would usually be hard to park the car close by, and unless you’re incredibly organised, accommodation would be hard to come by.
