Place


The best thing about this beach is the getting there and back. It is surrounded by private land, and there is no public way to get to it except by boat. Just a small patch of sand exposed by the tide and covered with seaweed. Still, it is in this sheltered area that the heavily protected Falmouth oysters are by law only caught by hand from the traditional Falmouth working boats, their beautiful gaff sails always a treat to see. So I guess I should not complain too much. And rowing the little dinghy in the sun, dodging between the moored St. Mawes sailing boats, is more fun than exercise.
