Readymoney Cove is a south-east facing sandy beach to the south of the harbour town of Fowey. It is sheltered by cliffs close to the mouth of the River Fowey Estuary and bounded, on one side, by the medieval town of Fowey and, on the other, by St Catherine's Castle. The beach can be covered during spring tides. The beach is cleaned daily during high season, and a bathing platform is moored in the bay. #Fowey #Cornwall #waterlust #beach #southengland #outdoors #landscapes #England #placestovisit

On the beach there is a waterfall, which can only be seen after heavy rain fall. There is a great walk through some woods from the main car park by the church to get to this amazing crescent shape cove where you will find this waterfall. A pebble beach offers a great swimming area and a quite place to take some great pictures.
