Carlyon Bay
Carlyon Bay is the address people give when they would rather not say St Austell, and the golf course and the sea view do enough of the arguing to let them get away with it. It is bungalow country with a coastline attached, which sounds like an insult until the first winter, when the people with three storeys are the ones climbing stairs to watch horizontal rain. The beach below has been about to become something spectacular for so long that the promise now counts as local heritage, and everyone above it has made a comfortable peace with waiting.
