Abandoned Boat - Millook

Abandoned Boat


I photographed this abandoned boat at Millook Haven Beach in North Cornwall. At least I think it is abandoned but maybe not.

I wrote about this picturesque secluded cove earlier in the month so just click the link above if you want to read more about it or see more photographs.

What I didn't mention in my earlier post is that there is a very cute beach shack you can rent and stay at, right on the beach.

I didn't back up my photographs of it, before my computer was wiped, so I can only show you one from the booking website, but it will give you an idea of how lovely it is.

The Beach Hut is the ultimate beach shack hideaway.

Combining stripped floors with white-washed walls and duck-egg blue clapperboard exteriors to bring about a special rustic charm, The Beach Hut brings whole new meaning to the term seaside chic. This unique property is a popular choice for film and photo shoots, with guests such as Titantic star Kate Winslet enjoying time spent at The Beach Hut on her Cornish holidays.

That level of loveliness doesn't come cheap though. If you wanted to book it this weekend, for example, it would set you back a cool £2,300 for 3 nights!!! 😱

Thank you to @juliank and @photocontests for this daily photography contest.

You always find the best subjects! what a great photo! what says "secluded cove" better than an abandoned weathered boat?

Weathered would have been a better choice of word I think @steven-patrick.

I'm not sure if it's abandoned or not. What do you think?

I wouldn't go out in that boat but I'm a bit of a landlubber haha

Wow, that's crazy expensive for a few nights in the shack! I would have expected it to cost something like $50 per night by looking at it. Great photo of the boat by the way :)

Thank you @vlath.

Although the "shack" is quite luxurious it's the location you're really paying for. It's the only property there. 😊

Ah, it makes sense then! It's still crazy expensive in my opinion, even despite it being the only place to stay in the entire area.

I agree @valth. Crazy expensive is a great way to describe it! 😊

When water will rise from its surface then the boat will float automatically unless there are no leakage. Beautiful photographs friend. Beauty of nature and crafting.

Yes. I agree @punkblogs but it doesn't look like it's been used for a long time so there may well be holes in it. 😊

howdy @gillianpearce..wow those are some awesome photos, thank you.
is this also in England? I'd make a poster out of that top one.

Yes. it's in Cornwall @janton which is the southern most county in England. It's at the bottom of the long thing bit on the left.

It is very beautiful but has tiny roads and gets very busy in the peak season. I've written quite a few posts about the area. 😁

ok thank you that helps and makes a lot of sense...I think I want to stay in that cottage for a couple of weeks!
maybe if I ask for donations on Steemit? lol

Beautiful place on the beach. The house by the water is very romantic. It is a nice place to spend time in good weather. Thanks @gillianpearce and congratulations again for you!

Thank you @madlenfox. Becoming the the Shining Qurite of the week was a huge surprise but a very nice one, as you can imagine! 😁

@gillianpearce, I am sincerely happy for You, you deserve this title :)
