Porthcurno Beach is well-known for being beautiful and according to one visitor it's "as good as an Australian beach!"
Someone else added: "When the sun comes out, you could be on any beach in the world. This beach is stunning. Pure white, soft sand."
Another reason as to why Porthcurno has been compared to Australian and Caribbean beaches is its warmth.
In fact, it's the beach is the second warmest in the UK outside the summer months.
The Porthcurno Beach boasts an average temperature of 13.1C in autumn, which is still warm enough to enjoy, but worth taking an extra layer just to be on the safe side.
The town is also home to the Minack Theatre, an open-air performance space that overlooks the ocean.
And just a 10-minutes walk away from the beach, is Treen Farm Campsite, and nearly all the pitches have sea views too.
All pitches are supplied with picnic benches so during the summer you can eat dinner alfresco.
There are token-operated hot showers on site, toilets, washing up and laundry facilities too.
On-site is a small shop for supplies like milk, eggs, bread rolls, local meats, wines and beers - as well as BBQs.

Every morning the shop has freshly baked croissants and pasties are available throughout the day.
During busier times of the season, there are catering vans that pull up to the campsite up to three times a week.
In the warmer months, the campsite even offers a short, morning meditation class.
Anyone wanting to camp at Treen Farm Campsite cannot book as it operates on a first come, first served basis.
The website warns that in peak season, it's best to arrive early to guarantee a pitch.
To pitch a medium tent (3-4 man) cost £7 per night during peak season.
There's an additional fee of £11 for adults during peak season, and £6 for children.
The campsite is open between April 1 and October 5.
It's highly-rated on Tripadvisor with visitors praising its "spectacular views" and "lovely site staff".

Another famous beach for white sands that is just around the corner is Pedn Vounder Beach.
The beach is tucked away near Land's End and used to be a hidden gem, now it's very well-known and popular in the summer.
Last year, Pedn Vounder Beach was named one of the best in the world.
Ranking it 25th in the world, Big 7 wrote: " Cornwall has long been a summer getaway destination for local families, but its gorgeous coastline has caught the eye of international travellers.
"Combining crystal clear blue water and white sand, it's proof that you don't need to hotfoot to the Caribbean for a tropical island-inspired getaway."
Check out this Netflix-famous sandy beach an hour from London with 'excellent' water quality – and it's nowhere near the sea.

Mum on £3,500 holiday forced to get up early to tackle 'unfair' sunbed war
A mother on holiday with her family has revealed how she was forced to get up early because of 'unfair' sunbed hogs. Lianne Smith, 39, spent a week in Cala'n Bosch with her husband, two children, parents and her brother. However, her £3,500 holiday wasn't quite as relaxing as Lianne hoped as she soon found herself battling other overly keen tourists for sun loungers in the mornings. She revealed she found it hard to secure six beds together, because of other eager holidaymakers reserving them in the early hours. 'It goes against what I think is right. It's annoying, but you pay all that money - and if you can't beat them, join them,' the mother-of-two said. Lianne, from Bristol, recalled how even though the hotel pool didn't officially open until 10am, nearly a third of the sun loungers were gone by 8.30am. She explained how a lot of the 'taken' sun beds were actually for children who would spend most of their time in the pool. The holidaymaker said: 'The first morning we tried to get sunbeds together, but by the time we arrived, people had already staked their spots well before the pool even opened. However, her £3,500 holiday wasn't quite as relaxing as Lianne hoped as she soon found herself battling other overly keen tourists for sun loungers in the mornings 'When we showed up, there was no way to sit next to each other – everyone was spread out all around the pool. 'We tried arriving later on another day, but it was the same story every time.' Lianne explained how she ended up 'sneaking out' while the kids were still sleeping and put towels on beds. 'What really gets to me is when people reserve beds for their kids – it feels unfair,' she fumed. 'We'd never reserve spots for all 10 of us. 'The kids are usually in the pool anyway, so we just share beds.' Lianne posted about her experience on TikTok, and said that although she enjoyed the holiday overall, other tourists creating daily sunbed wars wasn't so relaxing. She said: 'Most people agreed it's super frustrating. We spent one morning at the beach, but usually, we prefer to hang around the pool.' She explained how a lot of the 'taken' sun beds were actually for children who would spend most of their time in the pool (stock) The mother shared that she had heard about a sunbed booking system used elsewhere and felt it was a good solution to the problem. She said: 'One person mentioned they'd been somewhere with a ticket system to book sunbeds in advance. 'I'm honestly surprised there isn't a better way to manage it all.
