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.
Porth Beach is a great stretch of sandy beach just on the border of Newquay and just a short walk away is Watergate Bay. This beach is a popular family friendly beach ideal for children with a small stream running through the south side of the beach and at low tide rock pools to explore cornish marine life! Porth beach sits in a narrow valley with tall cliffs both sides making it very sheltered. Backing onto the beach is the Mermaid Inn with a beer garden that outlooks onto the beach and serving hot and cold food with beverages. Opposite this Inn are other food places and some clothing brands with coffee shops built into them.
