Hundreds of sea potatoes cover Penzance beach

Hundreds of baseball-like sea creatures have washed up on a Cornish beach.

The small heart-shaped orbs were sea potatoes, a sea urchin that lives buried in sandy and muddy sea beds all around UK▸ (United Kingdom) coasts.

Rosie Hendricks was on the beach at Wherrytown in Penzance earlier with her daughter, sister and nephew when she spotted the "odd-looking" creatures.

Ms Hendricks, from Penzance, who had never seen anything like it before, said: "I wasn't sure what they were."

You should have heard what the sea potatoes said about the Hendricks family...

"Heart shaped orbs"???Similar to oval-shaped cubes, no doubt.
