Well, that's all changed with our new work PCs. One of the Windows 10 screensavers is of a beach, seen from a cave. On this beach are two huge rocks, with what looks like very shallow water around them. This is as close as you could get to the beach of my dreams. A bit of Googling tells me that it is Wharariki Beach, on the North end of New Zealand's South Island:

Obviously, it's all coincidence, but it's odd that I noticed this image in the very week that I was intending to write about my intriguing dream-beach.
This image was the first one to come up when I started with Win 10. At first It looked very like a photo I'd taken and I thought Win 10 had rummaged around my photos for a screensaver. But I couldn't place it exactly, and then I realised the rock seemed to be sandstone which would mostly rule it out in Cornwall. So finally I concluded it wasn't my photo after all, although it is the sort of scene I would take. I don't see it so often now, Win 10 seems to have quite a collection of photos to show me!
Did you locate the setting by an image search, or otherwise?
