Storm Imogen battered Cornwall through Sunday night and into Monday morning, bringing with it 80mph winds and wave heights of over 19m measured off the Cornish coast.
Here’s some of the most dramatic pictures taken on the Cornish coast, showing the awesome and devastating power of mother nature. Batten down those hatches and remember to stay safe 🙂
One of the best places to watch the storms. This was the scene from Porthleven harbour on Monday. Jaw dropping shot by local photographer Lizzie Churchill

A very foamy Poldhu beach cafe
One of the more unusual (and popular) images from the storm was this unfortunate car that had been swallowed up by the sand whilst on Fistral beach car park :-/ We hope they didn’t get a ticket! Photo credit by @newquay_ninja
This dramatic photo shows how the extremely high tides on Perranporth beach have left The Watering hole Pub teetering on the edge of the sand bank, only a few meters from being washed away. UPDATE – the pub survived high tide yesterday evening 🙂
This great photo by Beachmuser showing Godrevy Lighthouse being pounded by waves
