[Bwuttonmoon]

Felixstowe container port view point, car park is on the dock water edge, nice place to watch the ships coming and going.

Boscombe near Bournmouth

Next place along the coast from Bournmouth is a nice little place called Boscombe, small surfy kinda place, lovely sandy beach, surf and some cool surf style bars and shops. You can park right next to the beach on the no through road towards bournmouth, saw a few vans parked up here for the night, think you need a ticket though.

Only pic i could get is on google earth

Hi, in Cornwall there are a few worth a mention-

- praa sands (def need a ticket as keen clampers!)
- marizion (overlooking St michaels mount)
- sunset cafe (near Gwithian)
- sennen beach car park (make sure brakes good- it's steep!)
- fistral beach cp
- gyllyngvase beach Falmouth
- perranporth

I'll keep thinking!

longrock beach off the road so not so noisy, excellent if you've got a dog as dogs allowed all year round 8) . close to penzance and morrisons is a short stroll away oh and its on the cycle route, the car park is free so park your van and cycle to penzance with have to go on any roads, therefore, excellent for little uns

We were at West Wittering this weekend. All grass parking, no part of the car park is more than 100 metres from the beach. You can't see the sea from the parking area, but it's just past the hedge...

Freshwater West is So Beautiful (and only a few miles from my house...lucky bugger lol!).
Also not far away is Newgale and also Whitesands beaches (and Angle as has been mentioned)....all good for parking at!
(They are not as nice as Fresh West tho!)
