Paid parking in Marazion, walk east to the edge of the NT owned beach. Take care with the meadows wildlife reserve to the north.
Plenty of open beach to TOAL at low tide, still a decent amount at high, beach gets very busy in the summer peak period.
You'll need permission from Penzance heliport to fly in the FRZ, they don't currently [13/07/2022] operate flights on a Sunday so that's your best shot for getting a permit.
St Michaels itself is a mix of private and NT, but you get decent shots from a distance regardless.
The originator declared that this location was inside a flight restriction zone at the time of being flown. Permission to fly was obtained from Penzance Helport / Sloane Helicopters. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
It’s a manual HDR taken with a 5 shot AEB to help deal with the reflective areas and the clouds.
Because it was a bright and hazy morning, it’s been lightly tweaked to cut through the haze a bit, but that’s about all.
Generally it seems that with the small airports and heliports so long as you can convince them you are safe and competent you’ve got a shot at getting permission, same goes for the RAF FRZ’s there’s a few post on the forum about people who had got permits for Culdrose when they don’t have any flights on.
I can confirn calling RNAS Culdrose Tower when requesting permission are easy to deal with. They ask for the location lat/long height and approximate time.
