Falmouth is one of Cornwall’s largest towns, situated within a relatively sheltered bay on the south coast, Falmouth is a town all about water. This old harbour town was once a fine fishing village with a variety of boats now it still holds their small fishing boats to superyachts, opposite facing to these boats on the south side is an industrial dock catering for all sizes of ships and at the mouth of the Fal is one of the latest natural anchorages due to this you will see some of the worlds biggest ships here.
Little Fistral Beach is only accessable at low tide and it is a very small beach that cannot hold as much as its bigger neighbour Fistral Beach. Located at the far right side inbetween Fistral and Towan headland lies this sandy beach. This is a lovely place to take the children as there are many caves, rock pools filled with cornish marine life. If you do plan on venturing to this sandy interesting beach then it’s well worth coming at mid tide because you can take a dip in but be careful because there can be rogue waves and unfortunately there isn’t any lifeguard cover on this beach.
The Mousehole rock pool is located in the Cornish fishing village of Mousehole. This tidal pool offers a beautiful panoramic views of Mount’s Bay and across to St Michael’s Mount and even further to the Lizard Peninsula.
