The sands of Treyarnon and Constantine bays are interupted by a flange of slate called Treyarnon Point. This shift from a narrow to a wide sandy beach via rock characterises PoE17a.

The lane beyond the golf club dips and rises amongst blackberry bushes. Finally it rises to a view of Constatine Bay. It is the same as it was hours ago. And yet it is different.
