Fowey Harbour
Visiting by boat
Tucked inside an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Fowey Harbour is a sheltered deep-water port that's been welcoming everything from tiny kayaks to full-sized cruise ships since the harbour commissioners set it up back in 1869. The setting is genuinely stunning — steep wooded hillsides drop down to the estuary, and the historic town of Fowey sits right on your doorstep with its galleries, restaurants and winding medieval streets. Marine engineering and sail repair services are available locally if you need them, so you're not stranded if something needs attention.
