We started to walk up the far side of the cove and looked across to the steep path that most people take down to Kynance - we prefer the longer route as the dogs can be off the lead for a while

 Still a huge amount of sand missing from this lovely beach - but it was still looking good

 A really steep climb out of the cove

 But a super view when you get up there

 

We then walked a short way along the coastal footpath towards Mullion Cove - where we met a group of French walkers, who were hoping to find a route back to the Car Park without going right down into Kynance & back up again - that was the way we were heading, so we all walked - well almost marched along together until we met up with the main track.

 As we walked a little inland there were signs that the Gorse was recovering, whereas out nearer the coast it was still brown

and there was a little Heather in flower - but overall the plants had not recovered as well as those at Porthgwarra
