Quaint and magical or dull and provincial?

How do you get there (boat or plane), where do you stay, is it expensive, etc... I don't care about nightclubs.

I know that this has already appeared on this thread, but I think it needs reposting for latecomers:

The major problem with Cornish beaches is that visiting them involves setting foot in Cornwall.

Someone posted a lovely picture of a beach in Dorset once before, it think.

In Dorset?

-- Tim (hopkinsti...), April 8th, 2004.

Oh, I think they very much did.

Really, I thought this magnificent.

I had a friend of a friend who ran away there when he went missing. Never been there myself, but I like islands so they sound good to me.

eight years pass...

Reckon it would be a good place to visit in January?

Good luck getting there in heavy weather, since Sainsburys knocked down the heliport in Penzance!

(It's one of my great regrets that I never did that helicopter trip while it was still running. "Oh, I'll go next time" I always said. And then it was no more.)

To be honest, I hadn't realised that the helicopter wasn't an option anymore ... That was going to be half the fun.
