Ready Money Cove - South East Cornwall
Cornwall Beaches > South East Cornwall > Ready Money Cove
A small, sheltered, sandy beach, slightly shelving. It is sheltered by cliffs close to the mouth of the River Fowey Estuary and bounded, on one side, by the medieval part of the Fowey and, on the other, by St Catherine's Castle. The beach can be covered during spring tides. Can be water pollution after storms and heavy rain. Reasonably safe bathing within cove, but not in the Fowey Estuary. The beach is cleaned daily during high season and litter bins are available. Dogs are banned between Easter and 30th September. There are tidal rock-pools. Above the cove is the former coach house which was the home of author, Daphne du Maurier, for a few years during the Second World War.
directions: Just outside Fowey town. Follow signs to Readymoney Car Park, then follow steep footpath to the beach.
