Restronguet Weir


The most pleasant way to experience this beach is to sail up the sheltered waters of the Carrick Roads to Mylor creek and moor up at the famous Pandora Inn, and from there (after a fine lunch and a pint of beer) stroll the short way along the coastal path to this small gravelly patch. Otherwise, the roadmaps and signs are not helpful - for this is a local beach with the feel of a small neighbourhood park, where waterside residents come to walk their dogs and chat briefly, or launch their little dinghies, or watch their kids dissipating excess energy in the cold water.
The afternoon turns a chill gray. Many come and go, nod and smile in passing. None stay for very long.
