What is difference between North and South Cornwall?

South coast scenery is softer, some beaches can be pebblier . North coast cliffs are steeper so scenery is more dramatic, some beaches are sandier. Also depends on the weather! Plenty of beautiful beaches on both coasts, though probably more on the North.
