Beaches around Falmouth

[Black]

Heading down to Falmouth for a week camping at Tregunwith Farm on Saturday morning, putting the boat in at Mylor Harbour. Can anyone recommend some good local beaches and pubs to visit?

Fingers crossed I'm not putting the tent up in the rain on Saturday.

After our week In Falmouth moving east to that RIB.net favourite, Penmarlem for a week.

Lantic Bay near Looe. Great beach, and you can only get to it by boat!

Turbo, where is that beach in relation to Looe, don't have any charts on me!

Tell Neil from me that he's a tosser.

Beachs/Pubs? Yep, there's a few.

Mollers, there was a pub called the Smugglers? mentioned in a magazine last month, any good?

Did the cafe at Mylor meet with the wife's approval?

No, 'Smuggler's' has been taken over by Tregothnan Estates, the freehold owners. Overpriced, pretentious rubbish.

Mylor brekkie was excellent.

TBH, top grub on the waterfront is pricey. The terrace at The Idle Rocks, St. Mawes is sublime when the sun is out.

The Ferryboat, Helford River, excellent for shellfish.

Most of the eateries in Falmouth are average, Rick Stein's chippy is worth a visit.

Went there the other day...crowded, grubby and the staff had lost the plot: 40 minutes for the tea to arrive; the scones 10 mins later :-( Piss poor

Hi. I only have a Bombard Aerotec 380 but we have launched most days off Maenporth beach. Staff really helpful at "Life's a Beach". Cafe great. Many boaters anchor up and take refreshments. Also plenty of private coves to anchor off, although some are used for skinny dipping. I love this area. Hope you do. Sadly we leave tomorrow.

Thanks for the tip, I was thinking of visiting there next time home!

If you're eating out from Penmarlam try The Famous Punch Bowl Inn in Lanreath. The food is good and it's not tourist trap prices.
