Porthcadjack

Samphire Island (or possibly Asparagus Island), Porthcadjack, Cornwall.
I have never known which of the two islands is which. I asked a wizened old sea dog in a Portreath Pub once and he said in an almost impenetrable Cornish accent; 'Who the f... cares'
I still don't know!
In the very far distance, Godrevy Island and lighthouse.

Indeed, the practicality of the Cornish

Love the shot and the old sea dog's reply! I'm going to Youtube to search "Cornish accent" ...
