Where am I?

Over the Holiday I visited this geological feature in Cornwall.

You can see how erosion from the sea waves have cut this lump of rock off from the main land so that you can only walk here at low tide.

If you can tell me where I was come and find me. If you are the first person to get the correct answer you will win a small prise. Everyone who gets the correct answer will get a house point.
