Introduction

The South West has seen has seen a dramatic increase as a tourist destination with an estimated one million visitors per year, this influx of tourists equates to an estimated £407 million per year coming into North Cornwall (NCDC BMU, 2007). Alongside this, there is also a continued migration of people from urban areas looking to relocate and settle in the region. This migration is fuelled by the attraction of the coastal areas, and in particular the regions beaches. As a result of this attraction, the beaches are being viewed as a key asset to the region and as such something to be maintained and managed correctly.
