Fowey is a small port which still is busy to this day, providing scenic moorings for leisure boats; the harbour is flanked by fourteenth-century blockhouses, one in Fowey and one of the opposite sides of the river in Polruan, from which chains were suspended to close the harbour mouth way back when. You can still visit the Polruan blockhouse but unfortunately, the Fowey blockhouse is closed but there still remains a good view from Fowey. In the second World War, Fowey was the main town for air-sea rescue and also one of the places from which D-Day invasions were launched.
Bessy’s Cove is a small secluded cove on the West Cornwall coast, situated somewhere between Perranuthnoe and Praa Sands this Cove is small in size but beautiful. During low tide it opens up a small beach which can be empty most of the time but its perfect for escaping the crowds near Praa Sands on a busy summers day. It goes without saying its not a family friendly beach as there is not enough space for the children to play or any lifeguard cover. This picturesque cove is great for snorkelling and explore Cornish marine life, also a popular fishing spot off of Cudden Point.
