The development on Carlyon Bay Beach will have such a far reaching impact, not only on St Austell Bay, but on this whole area of South Cornwall, that understandably it has drawn lively attention from the local press with recent articles such as 'No to Costa Del Carlyon' and 'Petition Calls On Prescott to Step In'.

However, it is a testament to the importance of some of the issues involved that Carlyon Bay Beach has captured the investigative scrutiny of a significant number of National publications, posing among others, the question, 'Can this Really Happen to a Cornish Beach'.
