The port has one of the world's deepest natural harbours and is fast developing a global reputation as one of the best centres for sailing and water sports. Falmouth is never short of interest and spectacle for the visitor.

Aside from the delights of the port, Falmouth's mild climate enables botanical gardens such as Glendurgan, Trebah and Gyllyndune to flourish. In total there are 7 gardens to be explored and all are within easy travelling distance of the town. 16th Century Pendennis Castle, perched on the headland by the harbour, is a showpiece of British history and the National Maritime Museum is a nautical mine of information. The Falmouth Art Gallery offers a renown collection ot Tuke paintings and is full of the history of the Falmouth Packet ships which used to be seen offshore. The town centre has a good collection of specialist shops and restaurants as well as many notable and unusual listed buildings such as the King's Pipe, used to burn contraband tobacco in the days of old style smuggling. Falmouth has 4 superb beaches and when you have finished lazing around in the sun there are the creeks and inlets of the Helford Estuary to be explored.
