Falmouth’s natural harbour is the third largest deep-water harbour in the world, the traditional gateway to the Atlantic and one of the world’s great sailing harbours. The world-class National Maritime Museum Cornwall houses the small boat collection and offers unique and interactive displays of boats and their place in people’s lives. The clear water, sheltered creeks and mild temperatures of the Fal estuary provide fine natural oyster beds, sustaining the last remaining oyster fisheries still dredging under sail and oar in Europe. Falmouth’s maritime tradition is regularly celebrated through regattas and festivals. The town’s shopping streets lie just off the waterfront and are connected by small opeways offering tantalising glimpses of the water and link the harbour with a charming mix of shops and art galleries. Cafés and restaurants offer a selection of both world and local cuisine. Within walking distance you will find beaches offering safe, crystal clear waters, sandy stretches and secluded coves ideal for family bathing and watersports. Sightseeing in the Falmouth area could not be easier. Climb aboard one of the many trip boats that ply the local waters, or hop-on and off the road train that in summer links the town, beaches and Pendennis Castle. Population 22,000
