Cornwall is one of the most beautiful and dramatic corners of the British Isles, a rugged peninsula forming the far southwestern tip of England, almost entirely surrounded by the sea. Famous for its golden beaches, picturesque fishing harbours, clear turquoise waters and celebrated seafood, it offers a rewarding and characterful cruising destination.
The Cornish coast is a succession of dramatic cliffs, hidden coves and beautiful beaches, dotted with charming fishing villages such as St Ives, Fowey and Falmouth, whose colourful harbours and clear waters make idyllic anchorages. The mild climate and surprisingly clear, turquoise seas give parts of the coast an almost Mediterranean feel.
Cornwall is rich in maritime heritage and legend, from ancient sites and smuggling coves to the beautiful Isles of Scilly lying just offshore, an archipelago of white beaches and clear water. Seals, dolphins and basking sharks frequent the surrounding seas, adding to the natural appeal.
