Eastern House
The Best Things
* THe colour of the sea has to be seen to be believed - more like Greece than England.
* The beach, beautiful soft, shell sand.
* The MInack Theatre
* Unparallelled cliff scenery
(mainly Southern)
* The weather (honestly) - particularly in winter when it can be as mild as the Med.
* A tremendous campsite at nearby Treen
Surely one of the best beaches in the UK.
SeaView House, a top spot bed and breakfast...just go there!
When the sun shines, the most wonderful beach. when the sun doesn't shine, still the most wonderful beach. The tourist hordes make it difficult in July and August. No better place to be on a sunny spring Sunday
Just about the most perfect beach you could want. White fine shell sand. High cliffs shelter from all but the most southernly wind. Azure/turquoise sea. Caves that can only be reached when the tide goes out, revealing a tantalising second cove. Open your eyes and dream you are in the mediterranean.
The Worst Things
* Traffic and wall to wall people on the beach in July and August.
* Lack of a decent hostelry
* Lack of community spirit - too many Southern gits have moved in.
The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!
In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor
(the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.
We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!
If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.
If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
