People are mistaking this idyllic UK seafront location for Santorini
A UK seafront location has left people mesmerised as they 'can't believe' it's on our shores - with some saying it should be in Santorini instead.
The summer holidays are here and for many that means jetting off on a sun-soaked holiday.
Maybe you're planning on heading to the beaches of Spain or Greece this summer, or perhaps you're even thinking of swanning off further afield to the sunny climes of places like the Caribbean or Australia.
But did you know that you could experience a taste of paradise right here in the UK? That's right, you could enjoy your very own slice of the Mediterranean without ever setting foot on a plane this summer with a staycation.
People on social media have been going wild over a viral video showing a stunning seafront location with winding stone steps and grassy verges that look out onto gorgeous blue waters.
The video looks like it's plucked from someone's travels to the Greek island of Santorini, but it was actually taken on the shores of Cornwall.

The clip, posted by a woman named Isha, depicts the gorgeous Minack Theatre, which is an open-air theatre located in Porthcurno in Cornwall, around four miles from Land's End.
Isha described the location as one of "the UK's hidden gems", and it's easy to see why. The Minack Theatre boasts dramatic views of the cliffs and the sea below, while the location itself is stunning too - with beautifully designed stone steps winding down the cliff to the stage below and patches of grass lining the seating area.
What's more, the Minack Theatre is still fully operational and hosts a season of plays and musicals from March to November, giving you a chance to experience this gorgeous venue in all its glory.
