Charlestown (West)


Charlestown on the south coast has an inner harbour that is home to some old wooden tall ships, and an outer one that dries out completely. To its right, the West beach is small, with lovely shingle and rock. You have to clamber over the rocks to get to another very small piece of shingle on the western side, from where you can see Duporth Beach in the distance. When the tide is right out, you can also walk into the harbour on the east from the seaward end, or right across to the larger beach on the other side of the harbour. Today, the light makes everything seem a dirty grey, that does not let up until dark.
