We visited the traditional sea side beach of Praa Sands this sunday. Praa sands is the sort of place where children are busy making sandcastles above the tide line and surfers seek out the best waves on the horizon; where fine golden sands dust the entrance to the little shops and cafes beside the slipway […]
