This is why we do our yearly fortnight in the south-west during the summer months, as then I get a chance to spend time by the water. Whether I just go for a walk on the beach or head in for a swim, it's amazing the difference it can make to my mood, as well as my complexion and overall health.
While my favourite beach has to be the one in Teignmouth, any beach makes me happy, which is why I jumped at the chance to go to Perranporth the day after arriving in St Austell.
