点评:Review:
Getting to Maenporth Beach involves trusting your sat nav through a few miles of narrow B-roads, but as you emerge from the trees into the cove, it’s entirely worth it.
Parking Pro-Tip: You’ve got two choices upon arrival. On one side, the "official" car park with a soul-sucking ticket machine. On the other side, a field with a friendly guy in a van. Go with the guy in the van—he’s perfectly legitimate and cheaper! It is on the bank of a stream so the mud can smell a little but the smell doesn’t travel far.
The beach itself is stunning, stretching a few hundred meters wide with a shale slope on one side and a freshwater stream cascading out of a rock cave that splits the sand. It’s easily one of the best beaches I’ve visited. The water is crystal-clear and stays shallow enough to wade out a fair distance. It’s a hub of activity: people launching SUPs, kayaks, and someone even brought an entire sailboat right up to the shore while a regatta sailed past in the distance.
Facilities & A Word of Warning:
There are toilets and a great little cafe on site. Interestingly, the cafe doubles as a minor injury unit. The local weaver fish love to hide in the sand and sting unsuspecting toes—and honestly, good on them for defending their turf! The cafe staff probably have more clinical experience treating weaver fish stings than the local A&E department. Take their advice: wear beach shoes in the water.
翻译:点评:
要抵达梅恩波斯海滩,你得依靠导航仪指引,沿着几条狭窄的B级公路行驶数英里。不过,当你穿过树林来到海湾边时,这一切绝对是值得的。
停车小贴士:抵达后有两种选择。一侧是设有收费机器的“官方”停车场;另一侧则是一片空地,那儿有个开着面包车的好心人。建议选择后者——他完全合法且收费更便宜哦!这片海滩位于溪流旁,因此泥土会散发出一点气味,不过这种气味不会传播得太远。
海滩本身美得令人惊叹,宽度达几百米之多。一侧是页岩斜坡,另一侧则有一条淡水溪流从岩石洞穴中涌出,将沙滩一分为二。这绝对是我到过的最棒的海滩之一。海水清澈见底,水深也较浅,可以蹚水走到很远的地方。这里热闹非凡:人们在这里划桨板、划皮划艇……有人甚至把整艘帆船直接开到了岸边,而此时远处正有帆船赛正在进行。
设施与温馨提示:
那里有厕所,还有一家很不错的小咖啡馆。有趣的是,这家咖啡馆同时兼作小型急救站。当地的刺鲀喜欢躲在沙子里,然后蜇伤毫无防备的行人——说实话,它们是在捍卫自己的领地呢!可以说,咖啡馆的工作人员在治疗刺鲀蜇伤方面的经验,恐怕比当地的急诊科还要丰富。听从他们的建议:在水里时穿上涉水鞋。
