HRB Marine’s moorings provide shelter from most winds and are located between Helford Passage and Helford Village which is exactly 2.48 miles west of the river mouth leading directly into Falmouth Bay. It acts as a gateway traveling east up the Cornish coast to Fowey and beyond or west to the many coves which flank the Lizard peninsular and on to St Michaels Mount and Penzance Bay.

Within Falmouth Bay itself are the sandy beaches of Maenporth, Swanpool and Gyllyngvase. Then comes Falmouth harbour which is the third largest natural deep water port in the world after Sydney & Rio De Janeiro and lies on the eastern end of the bay and Fal estuary.

Across from the harbour entrance and Pendennis Castle you can choose between the upscale hamlet of St Mawes with its sheltered habour and popular beach or into the wide waterway known as Carrick Roads which leads to Mylor Churchtown, Restronguet Creek with the famous Pandora Inn, St Just in Roseland and on up past the King Harry Ferry to Coombe, Malpas and eventually Truro when tides allow. The bay has also become home to large pods of dolphins and blue fin tuna are now being caught under licence in the summer months 2-3 miles further offshore.
