Köppen climate type:
The beach to the east of Penlee quarry yields some minerals that are not directly connected to the Penlee Quarry, just nearby. Some of these minerals found on the beach are coming from an or different offshore lodes. Some lodes can be seen at low tide.
These used to be exploited by Wheal Henry, see https://www.mindat.org/loc-32883.html
It should also be borne in mind that there is a high probability of waste material from the quarry making its way to the foreshore as well.
This locality lies within the Penzance CP, not Paul CP under current parish boundaries.
