Floating in the Dead Sea is the kind of experiences you might have only once in your life. (Or is it?) After swimming in the Dead Sea not once, but four times, I feel like I tried different beaches and I now know where the best one is.

The scenery around is absolutely breath-taking and there’s lots of activities and adventures to be had in Cornwall. The caravan park is kitted out wi
