UK beach that looks just like the Caribbean can send people wild
A stunning beach in the UK has been going viral after people noticed that it looks just like the beaches that line the shores of the Caribbean, with crystal-clear waters and golden sand
Discover a slice of the Caribbean on UK shores with Cornwall's stunning beach that's making waves on TikTok. Whisking yourself away to a sun-kissed sandy beach and gazing at crystal-clear waters while bronzing your skin is often reserved for holidays abroad. But what if you could soak in all that holiday bliss without jetting away from the UK?
A hidden gem along the UK coastline has started creating a buzz on social media for looking remarkably similar to a Caribbean paradise. With its pristine blue waters and golden sands, it's easy to mistake this Cornish hotspot for a tropical haven a world away.
The place shaping up to be the country's answer to Caribbean escapes is none other than Pedn Vounder beach. This idyllic spot grabbed attention on TikTok, thanks to a share by @carbisbayhotelandestate - representing the luxe Carbis Bay estate in St Ives, which boasts its own exclusive strand.
Lucky for beachgoers, the appealing stretch featured in the viral post welcomes the public. Perched on the Penwith peninsula's southern tip, Pedn Vounder ticks all the boxes for an exotic beach experience without leaving UK territory.
For those tempted to check out Pedn Vounder, it's worth noting a few key insights. The secluded beauty spot experiences the ebb and flow of tidal shifts - ensuring the beach area disappears under the waves at high tide.
Moreover, reaching this hidden coastal treasure requires traversing by boat or executing a "challenging climb" down some steep rocks due to its remote setting.
Pedn Vounder, a picturesque beach in Cornwall, is gaining popularity among naturists despite not being officially designated for nude sunbathing.
Visitors are warned with signs stating "naturists may be seen beyond this point" as they make their way down to the cove, which has become an unofficial spot for those who prefer to soak up the sun in the nude.
Explore Cornwall advises that the beach can get "very busy" during the summer and school holidays, suggesting an early visit before the children break up for summer.
The website also notes: "The beach is south-facing with high cliffs on either side so it gets the best sunshine in the middle of the day and is in the shade from late afternoon."
Reviews from previous visitors to Pedn Vounder are overwhelmingly positive, with one Google review exclaiming: "Totally mind-blowing. What a fabulous colour of water, totally loved it."
Another visitor was equally impressed, remarking: "The best and most amazing beach you can find in the UK. This place made us think we were in the Caribbean."
A third satisfied tourist wrote: "Beautiful beach with azure blue water, nice sand, cliffs either side and plenty of space. Water was amazing to swim in."

Passengers cheer while ‘drunk' mum and daughter Tiktok stars forced off plane
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Tiktok influencers were chucked off a UK flight to Jamaica after they swore at staff and had to be 'strapped down to their seats'. The mum and daughter, who ran the account @angel777987, were filmed causing chaos on the aircraft which took off from Manchester on May 28. After a two hour delay, the pair began drinking and quickly began shouting and swearing at staff – with the content creator daughter demanding to get off mid air. Fellow passenger Mandy, who captured the footage on @balloonsbykandykrush, said the pair were asked to calm down throughout the flight. But the daughter refused to sit in her seat in row 22, and staff were forced to strap her down. Mandy told MailOnline: 'The airline made her sit back down again and the captain announced that due to reckless behaviour there will be a delay in Jamaica as she will be arrested. 'They then put Angel to the back of the rows, strapped her in the seat. They cuffed her and then the famous TikTok woman, Angel, I believe, got arrested.' The flight landed in Jamaica six hours later than the original time after the crew was forced to make an emergency landing in Canada due to the mum and daughter's behaviour. They were arrested once the plane landed, with footage showing passengers cheering as the pair are lead away from their seats by police. The mum begins shouting in the face of one of the officers while Angel can be seen smiling and telling passengers 'bye'. More Trending Angel's Tiktok account has since been closed. Before the argument broke out, a video uploaded to the account shows Angel drinking with her mum at the airport. The pair can be seen posing with their drinks, with Angel captioning the clip: 'In Manny airport me and mum are on our way to paradise guess where?' Metro has contacted TUI for comment.

She simply had to tell everyone about it as the price left her totally stunned She was left stunned by the price of the meal (stock image) (Image: undefined via Getty Images ) During her holiday, a woman was left astounded by the price tag on her fish and chips order. Suzanna, known for her travel vlogs, shared her astonishment online over the cost of her meal. The TikTok user, who posts under suzannatravelsolo, relished the dish at her "favourite" dining establishment while vacationing in Egypt, setting the mood with a bottle of Prosecco in her hotel room before heading out. She took her followers along to a cherished eatery in Luxor known as The Lantern Room Restaurant. Accompanied by a friend, Suzanna went to what she considers the best English restaurant in the vicinity. She pointed out that it's tucked away on a side street in Luxor, a venue she frequents during her travels. The video tour included a look at the menu where starters are priced around £2 each, with Suzanna confessing her preference for the garlic mushrooms. Main courses at the restaurant feature a variety of classic options, but Suzanna chose the traditional fish, chips and mushy peas. She described the meal as nothing short of "beautiful." To top off her dining experience, Suzanna enjoyed a cup of tea, and the total bill amounted to £8 per person. She coined it remarkable "unbelievable value for money." In response, a social media user expressed their envy, commenting: "Aw, this would be my dream. I adore Egypt after my first visit. Loving your content." One enthusiastic traveller wrote: "What a lovely life you have Suzanna - just tracking the world and having a great time. Love your content. Have a lovely time in Luxor and on the cruise." A different user commented, expressing their amazement at the affordability: "Looks yummy, so cheap." Meanwhile, someone else, seemingly yearning for a getaway themselves, said: "I wish I could get time off work."

Serving as the governorate's capital, Luxor draws a myriad of tourists keen to explore what has come to be recognised as the "world's greatest open-air museum", owing to the blend of ancient Egyptian landmarks peppered throughout the bustling city. The wealth of unique experiences offered by Luxor keeps visitors coming back, and this is true not only for its archaeological marvels, but also its contemporary offerings such as The Lantern Room Restaurant, which has attracted high praise on TripAdvisor. Garnering an impressive average rating of 4.7 out of 5, diners frequently applaud the establishment for various aspects. One diner complimented the venue, sharing: "Great atmosphere and decor - friendly welcome, good choice of international and Egyptian cuisine. All cooked in their restaurant to a high standard - highly recommend this resturant." Another shared their delightful dining experience, elaborating: "Small restaurant, very friendly. Very friendly staff. And above all we eat very well... the Shish Tawook is excellent, as well as the lentil soup. The other dishes are just as tasty. All for a very reasonable price." A third individual enthused: "This is a great little restaurant offering European and Egyptian food. They also do a good British Sunday roast, highly recommended, but best to book. "I recommended it to guests staying at my hotel, and they were so impressed they went back three times during their stay - says it all really."

My family and I have been coming here over 20 years. "Tonight I had fish and chips - a small portion, which was amazing. Just right to then have apple crumble and ice cream. Again the food is top notch. "The place and staff couldn't be nicer. The prices are very good. For sure the best place in Luxor. Cannot wait to come back again."
