Tide's Out!
A reminder that there were one or two sunny days this summer. I was lucky enough to have a few days off for this one.
Portscatho lies in the South-westerly corner of Gerrans Bay on the Roseland peninsula. The East-facing cove affords shelter from the prevailing south westerly winds and this meant it was ideal as a base for the pilchard fleets of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is still, although on a much smaller scale, an active fishing port today. The same shelter makes for safe swimming and its proximity to many fine sandy beaches means it’s a family favourite.
