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.
Watergate Bay Beach at low tide is a wide golden sandy beach which backs on to high cliffs and is considered to be one of the best surfing beaches around Newquay with the Atlantic swell coming in. The bonus of this being slightly outside Newquay around 2 miles and at low tide you can still easily find yourself a quiet spot on here. Watergate is popular with surfers but also popular with families as this beach offered a large expanse of sand for activities with the children.
