Falmouth's Connection to The Coast
Because of the harbour’s depth, the waters of Falmouth Bay are unusually calm. Falmouth has a depth of 34 metres at its deepest point, making it the world’s third deepest natural harbour.
This, combined with the area’s south coast location and protecting headlands, has produced an excellent sheltering habitat for the area’s unique marine wildlife.
It also features a long stretch of rock pools that stretches across the bay and towards the mouth of the Fal estuary.
Calm waters limit the amount of silt deposited in the pools, allowing them to fill up and reducing the damage caused by heavy wave action to species.
Castle Beach
Located alongside Pendennis Point, it is the most northerly of all the Falmouth beaches.
Due to its rocky areas, it is known as a great beach for rockpooling, diving, and snorkelling during low tide.
