Smaller, cosier. UK beaches are tiny.

Dave mentions my wanting to know how long the beach was in Florida. His answer was in keeping with what I was thinking, but bigger, much bigger.

So after asking the question, I was also inspired to take some videos. This country is smaller, a lot smaller that the US. Everything is cuter, cosier, more bunched up. More squashed. The Ironbridge videos of yesterday explain this, better than I can in words.

This beach in St. Ives, Cornwall, is more in scale with the UK. I guess it's less than half a mile wide when the tide's in.
