Seaton (Cornwall)
A tiny village with a large car park which adjoins the good size sandy beach.  There is also parking along the beach front and a large beach cafe.  The Smugglers Arms by the beach has a good restaurant and bar.  Always plenty of parking space at all times of year.  As the birds eye photo of the beach shows, there are a scattering of individual houses on the road leading from the beachand this constitutes the scattered village. A real countryside setting with lovely coastal walks.  For somewhere more substantial but yet still a small village, take the half a mile hill walk (or drive) up to  large Downderry village.  Downderry offers a few cafes /restaurants, a good beach and a few country style Inns.  A few miles further down the coast are Looe and Polperro.  Looe and Looe island are visible from Seaton beach.
