Overview

Please note, meeting time is 9.40 from Royal William Yard for the 9.45 ferry. At Cremyll, we'll catch the bus to Freathy, arriving around 10.20.

From Freathy along the low tide beach to 'boiler beach' for possible swim and coffee.  Up to the coast path and along to the coastguard cottages.  Across the neck of the peninsula to Cawsand, alternative swim spot and ice cream of course.  Sandways Geological SSSI for lunch.  Coast Path variant to Cremyll

Best place for swim depends on weather and wind direction.  Many fantastic views!  Quaint fishing village

Use of ferry and bus integral to the walk.  We meet at the Plymouth side of the ferry; but no problem joining us in Cremyll, or Freathy.
