We’re living through challenging times right now, and we can’t thank everyone enough for all their support and wonderful messages. There’s so much kindness in the world and we’re humbled by how selfless and remarkable people are! We are incredibly grateful to be at the heart of a very special community and the love that has been sent our way is just amazing.

As we all face at least 12 weeks in isolation/ social distancing, we know how important it is for so many of you who can’t be here, to stay in touch with Cornwall, the beach and the seaside. That’s where we come in! We have been sharing live streams every day from Crantock to give you a little escape from your daily news feeds, and as a reminder that we’re all in this together. The beach is a place of calm and relaxation – so we hope our Facebook videos take you to a peaceful place where you can listen to the waves and think of nothing else even if it’s just for a few minutes.

You can guarantee this, when life returns to ‘normal’ and we can re-open, we will be here waiting for you with even more gratitude for the world around us, for our wonderful team, loyal customers and amazing community. When life is changed by such a huge global event, you can’t help but take stock and think about all the things that truly matter. Quality time with family, evening walks on the beach, hugs with your best friends and trips to see Grandma.

Life may have thrown us a curveball, but one thing’s for certain; love, kindness and hope will always shine through even the worst of situations. However you spend your time at home, we hope you’re safe, healthy and supported. Listen to the birds, read your favourite novel, play an iconic album on repeat and find small, joyous moments in every day. Living through COVID-19 has reminded us all that the little things are in-fact, the big things.

Be kind, be grateful for our NHS and key-workers, look after yourself and those around you.

See you on the other side!
