Locally:
Galley Cottage is just a few minutes walk from the Harbour,
local shops, restaurants and pubs.
The village is dominated by the harbour which at one time was a
major source of income for the whole area. Currently it is still
a busy fishing port with numerous little boats.
Fishing trips can be enjoyed both around the bay and deep sea.
It is also a popular pastime to fish from the harbour wall which
is easily accessible and surprisingly successful the
mackerel/pollock/bass and mullet being the common species.
To compliment the fishing trips there is a passenger ferry to
Fowey taking in all the local headlands and beaches. Basking
sharks and dolphins are regular visitors to the route.
The village itself offers a host of little shops including
speciality goods and essential supplies. There is an excellent
choice of restaurants/pubs and takeaways readily available.
