Editor's Notes

Towan Beach on the Roseland Peninsula is a quiet, unspoiled stretch of sand and fine shingle reached across fields from the National Trust's Porth Farm — a favourite for rock-pooling and swimming away from Cornwall's busier resorts.

Cool water — ease in carefully. Cool enough to cause cold-water shock on a sudden entry. Get in gradually, let your breathing settle, and keep an eye on weaker swimmers.
