Prince of Wales Pier, in the heart of Falmouth, is the departure point for the little passenger ferries that criss-cross this huge natural harbour. From here you can hop across to the Tudor village of St Mawes or the quiet creek-side village of Flushing, or join a harbour sightseeing cruise past the docks and castles. Sailings are frequent in season but weather-dependent, so check the return times.
