Hi, I'm touring around the coast of Devon/cornwall in a weeks time and would like some advice of where to stop off. Been to Polperro and Megivissey, which I both loved.

Any other places I should put my list.

Thanks.

We loved St Ives and the Portminster Cafe in particular! It serves divine food with fabulous views of the sea.

Burgh Island/Bigbury on Sea. Amazing coastline, fab walks, great cream tea in an old art deco hotel where agatha christie wrote one/some of her Miss Marple stories. You have to go onto a tractor if the tide is in to get to the island.

There is a cafe, beach shop and a lot of sand and sea!

Blackpool Sands in Devon is beautiful.

Mila - yes I agree, all along that coastline, beautiful sandy beaches - bantham, bigbury, salcombe (not good for parking though) It is my favourite part of this country.

Crantock beach is fab in cornwall

we have holidayed in St Ives for years and absolutely love it. Also Padstow and Port Isaac are beautiful, and a little further north than St Ives. Port Isaac has the best fish and chips, and a live brass band on Thursdays in the summer season iirc.

Enjoy - it is beautiful wherever you go down there.

Nanjizal cove in Cornwall, its weird and beautiful . Also Sennen is lovely, almost unspoilt.

Pokerris - lovely beach, fab cafe called Sam's.
