📍 Little Perhaver Beach, Gorran Haven 🌊☀️🌊

I fancied going somewhere new. So I scoured "The Photographer's Ephemeris (TPE)" app for a new coastal location facing the rising sun - cross referencing with image searches as an online recce! I found "Great Perhaver Beach." The very few photos online showed monolithic rocks strewn over the beach... that's where I would go!

Parking up at Gorran Haven an hour before sunrise, I walked the coast path northwards by torchlight. In the darkness, I saw no way of getting down the steep cliffs to the beach, and continued to Chapel Point. With the light now picking up, I retraced my steps - looking for access. I didn't find a way and surmised that Great Perhaver is best accessed at low tide or by kayak.

I began to form a social media post in my head about a failed trip out with the camera. In fact, maybe a little selfishly, I was glad that the sunrise was snuffed out buy low cloud. If the light kicked off I would have been jumping!

I thought though, while I was there I'd wander nearby "Gorran Haven Beach" and then "Little Perhaver Beach." Maybe an hour or so after sunrise, the sun began to penetrate the heavy cloud, and bathe the scene in soft light - which really picked out the colours of the rocky cliff face.

I darted in-and-out between waves to compose my shots. I used these rocks washed by the sea to anchor the foreground, with the receding headland and ominous sky backdrop. Despite Storm Bella's high winds, I was surprised that the waves weren't bigger. But it did make fore a moody sky.

Once again, my wellies got filled by a wave! And when a heavy hail shower pelted me I decided that it was time to go home!
