Car stranding at Polzeath prompts tidal advice to beachgoers
'Be aware'
There is a sign by the car park that reads: "Warning - beach users should be aware that at high spring tides this car park may flood."Mr Stewart told BBC Radio Cornwall: "The car park is tidal on spring tides and somebody clearly wasn't aware that driving past seaweed might leave their car a little bit vulnerable and the tide came in and gave it a bit of a wash.""We know roughly when the spring tides are and there are signs but we like people to be aware of any of the risks in their surroundings - and it doesn't always happen", he added.Spring tides happen just after every full and new moon, when the sun, moon and earth are in line creating the biggest difference between high and low water.

JD Vance's NIGHTMARE round at Donald Trump's golf course: US Vice President mocked after committing ultimate sin during UK holiday
It would appear the supreme golfing abilities of the Trump administration do not extend to the United States Vice President JD Vance, whose embarrassing four putt has gone viral. At his fearless leader's Trump Turnberry golf course no less, Vance produced a display that should have him fearing for his position as Donald Trump 's right-hand man during his much-publicised UK family getaway. After his eventful stop in the Cotswolds to go fishing with the 'unlicensed' Foreign Secretary David Lammy, Vance ventured north, to surrounds he presumed would be more comforting, given the owner of the luxury Ayrshire resort he had chosen to pitch up at. But, as one user on X remarked, his touch on the Scottish greens were revealed to be akin to his flair as a politician. A golf fan, though, on the evidence of his play, still lacking the requisite ability to cite it among his many strengths, Vance was seen toiling on the Turnberry course, first attempting to recover from a shot placed in a bunker and later seriously struggling to get the ball in the hole. The Ohio native will hope that the news of activists waving Palestinian flags and placards upon his arrival in Scotland on Wednesday or the major policing operation due to further planned protests, overshadows his disappointing effort. His boss, perhaps the world's finest player, who completes every round with the upmost integrity, does not suffer losers. Carnell Estates, situated in Ayrshire - an area the VP claims his ancestors left in the 17th century to help found the USA - includes a 14th century tower and luxurious mansion house hidden within its gardens and more than 2,000 acres of parkland. It is popular with VIPs, with Brad Pitt and his then wife Angelina Jolie having stayed at the estate when Pitt filmed World War Z in 2011. Mr Vance is a self-proclaimed 'Scots-Irish hillbilly at heart'. Ahead of Mr Vance's trip, a spokesman for the Scottish Government said: 'The Scottish Government continues to work collaboratively with partners, including the UK Government and Police Scotland, to manage the impact of a potential visit by the US Vice President to Scotland.' His visit follows a recent trip by President Trump, who spent five days in Scotland, splitting his time between his golf courses at Turnberry in Ayrshire and the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire, and meeting the First Minister and Prime Minister. On Friday, Mr Vance had left the Cotswlds to travel to Chevening House retreat in Kent, where he joined David Lammy at a lakeside - only for it to later emerge that the Foreign Secretary was in breach of the law as he had no rod licence. In another shocking development, Van's trip to these isles has seen him strike up a very unlikely friendship with a UK Apprentice star - which has left many fans open-mouthed. The 41-year-old is pals with none other than Thomas Skinner, 34, and even invited him to hang out.
