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.
Pentreath Beach is located just a short walk away from the famous Kynance Cove. This beach is west facing meaning its exposed to the Atlantic swells making it a great surfing beach if you can get your surfboard here as its typically also a quiet beach because of the lack of car parking. During high tide, Pentreath Beach becomes just a pebble beach and then at low tide it transforms into a much sandier stretch. In winter, the beach is typically rockier, with cliff falls are a hazard.
