The second day we hit the beaches in the beautiful town of St Ives. We spent the morning in two beaches - the girls were playing in the sand, making A into a mermaid, climbing rocks, building castles (with all my packing i forgot the sand toys on a beach holiday!!! so they were just using their hands) while the hubby and I lazed around watching the beautiful waves.
We walked around the old town area - very quaint and full of beautiful shops and had lunch in a seafood restaurant (i got some veg soup and salad). We went back to the hotel for a short evening siesta and then set out to explore the city of Falmouth where we were staying. They had a festival in the city centre with street food, a live band and lots of beer. All the restaurants were full so the girls had pizza and we had some indian food from the stalls. We then walked down to the beach, but it was a rocky beach and not a sandy one so we could not go right out into the water. We found many interesting rock pools on the rocks and the girls were thrilled to see the crabs and other sea life in the rock pools..here is a close up of a rock pool - can you spot the crab?
