Beautiful historic buildings with lots of eateries. It is lovely to get the foot ferry over to it from Cremyll on the Cornwall side. We love the Seco lounge for brunch and one can head up to Devils point for a walk which overlooks Plymouth Sound.

If you visit this stunning harbour we would recommend you drive to Polruan via Looe and Pelynt and park in the car park with the best view in Cornwall. It about a 30 minute drive. You can then get the foot ferry over into Fowey. This will avoid the difficulty of getting parked in Fowey which can be tricky in the summer and is a much more pleasant way to travel. We would recommend heading into the gardens of the Fowey Hotel for a cream tea which is open to non residents and has outstanding views over the river. Readmoney Beach is also very pretty.

The jewel in South East Cornwall’s crown. 5 miles of golden sands and surfing beaches. Beware of the rip currents and getting cut of by the tide. Always swim when lifeguards are operating at Tregonhawke, Sharrow and Tregantle.
