There is a debate raging across the globe about where you’ll find the best beaches; Californian beaches with the Pacific Ocean lapping at their shores or Cornish beaches with Atlantic waves washing over the sands.
Obviously here at The Bowgie Inn, Crantock we are firmly in the Cornish camp and we believe the beaches of Cornwall are the best in the world. Although the Californian Camp argue their beaches are best, they are a fickle bunch and we think we can sway them over to our way of thinking with a little bit of gentle persuasion.
We not only think the Cali crew will struggle to distinguish between a Cornish and a Californian beach, we also think when asked to choose their favourite of two images they will go for Cornish each time! Have a look below and firstly see if you can tell which image is Cornwall, which is California and decide which image you like best!
