Finally fixed the harbour gate that was damaged in a storm a few years ago... Great to see shops back in the harbour. Shame to see the sunken ship still there, fingers crossed they'll sort that soon...

The harbor lock is still under repair. Currently, there are no ships worth seeing in the harbor. Just an old shipwreck. So, nothing really worth seeing.

Polridmouth Beach is a quiet, sheltered cove, featuring two sandy beaches that are separated by a low rocky outcrop at high tide but join together at low tide.

Charlestown Harbour is the last open 18th-century Georgian harbour in the UK and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Renowned for its historic tall ships and picturesque setting, the harbour remains a vibrant working port and a popular filming location for TV and film productions such as Poldark and Taboo.

This is a stunning section of coastline, easily accessible from Carylon Bay. There are bays, coves, beaches and exceptional views across the Channel.

The Harbour gate failed in a recent storm due in part to a long-term lack of maintenance. As a result, the ships that were in the harbour all have been stranded every time the tide goes out. They have recently put shipping containers filled with aggregate where the gate was to keep water in as a temporary "fix"

This is permanently closed. All the artefacts have recently (November '24) been sold at auction.
