As I was looking at the seafront in Newquay with a creature scratched on sand, I thought about that sort of creature. There are myths and legends about monsters. They have been seen in the sea in past times.One, near Falmouth, was called “Sea Giant”. There is a carving in Gyllyngdune Gardens (in a playground for the children). Did it have a small head and a long neck? Was it like a serpent? I found other pictures. Is there a creature like this in the sea today? Sometimes strange beasts are thrown up from the sea by the waves. Watch this little film – made by Surfers Against Sewage. Perhaps the animal was a whale choked by plastic. The film is tragic.
