I was a lucky bugger when younger and only really seemed to have been taken on holidays abroad. Mostly to the US. Of course, going all over the US is great but it means I've never really seen much of the UK. Bad really considering the size of the place.
I've just spent a long weekend camping in Polzeath and while camping in a bin-bag shaped tent isn't really my thing, that part of the UK certainly is. Just love it down there. The beaches are gorgeous and I could literally spend every day, suiting up, grabbing a board of some kind and heading to the waves. Even when the weather is crap, its still a good place to be. Its the only place I've been where I get that feeling of contentedness and its only 5 hours drive away!
Also hit up Bude and Woolacomb, both also have great beaches although the towns are looking a bit ropey in that pebble-dashed 70's way.
I can't wait to go again! Not many places I can say that about (Germany is another).

Get the right weather and there is no reason to need to go Abroad..
This ^^But that also applies for so many places in the UK.
It's the weather that borks it.
Like now for example (ok up North Yorkshire) its July 8th. Grey and pissing it down. It is actually depressing.
I have wonderful childhood memories of Cornwall. I would love to relive them with my daughter.
Its a long way to go, which is fine.
Unless the weather is grim.
Woop going again this weekend.
Somewhere just outside of Bude, so not staying directly on the beach but not far. Gonna go to the adrenalin quarry to do cliff jumping and have a go on the blob! Should be fun.
Definitely need to do a few walks and find some quiet beaches. Budes not bad for a spot of playing in the sea but I like Polzeath better and my mates still there workin on the beach so will go see him too.
