Fowey Beaches

Im going on an adventure to Fowey, Cornwall during Regatta week (begins 13th aug) with my rib and a mate and his hard boat.
Do any of you local chaps know of some nice sheltered, sandy beaches nearby for anchoring and BBQ's?

Or any other nearby "must see" places to go by boat?

Failing that if your about in Fowey during regatta week give us a wave!

Yer Tis
Lantic Bay

Add to that Simon, Polperro, Looe, Charlestown, Mevagissey etc. Could be a busy week!

Or go the extra and come to Falmouth.

downhilldai and myself will be there at that time as well, fowey is a lovely place and the regatta week should be interesting, we will be based out of falmouth area but visiting fowey for the regatta

We're down there the week after. I've done regatta week in Fowey before (in the 80's

) and didn't fancy the crowds of emmits this time round.

just got back from fowey. For food visit the ship inn @ lerryn, avoid low tide though or you will be stranded

. Little lantic's the best beach its sandy the others are a sand/stone mix. If your stopping on the east side of estuary (mixtow) take fuel containers, the garage is either over the other side of estuary + 2miles or an 8 mile journey. Slipways are all good. all in all a great place to visit quite simliar to salcombe without all the toffs

Just checked the weather for next week.
Looks like its back to the usual Brit summer - shite

Lantic Bay is good but difficult to land in an easterly but grerat beach

Polridmouth (1 mile west of fowey) is good for BBQ in evening, popular for anchoring

Don't let the weather put you off, it always rains for Fowey Regatta!

Head for a cruise up river on a high tide. Fishermans Arms at Golant is a good stop for a pint, then on to Lerryn for more beer or food at the Shipp Inn.

Also the Old Ferry Inn in Bodinnick is a good stop for either food or drink.

We'll be around for Thur-Sunday, enjoy!
