Falmouth's Unmissable Gems

Falmouth’s maritime heritage is anchored by the National Maritime Museum and the active Lifeboat Station. The town’s coastline features Gyllyngvase’s Blue Flag sands and Swanpool’s shingle beach, which sits adjacent to a brackish lagoon and nature reserve. Inland, the Edwardian Gyllyngdune Gardens contain subtropical flora and the Princess Pavilion. The Killigrew Monument, a granite pyramid, commemorates the influential family responsible for developing Falmouth as a major port in the 17th century.
