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.
Gyllyngvase Beach is located near Falmouth, a short walk from the town center and is considered to be the best beach in Falmouth. Gyllyngvase is the perfect beach for families with soft golden sand and beautiful views surrounded and not to forget the lovely facilities nearby and cafe. The sea at this beach is clear and safe to swim at as it sheltered from rough seas by the Lizard Peninsula to the west and in the summer there is lifeguard cover here too. Low tide here uncovers rock pools to explore with the kids at low tide with shrimps, crabs and more to see.
