Padstow Harbour

Padstow is a small commercial port located 1.5 miles from the sea within the estuary of the River Camel. The harbour, known for its regular landings of fish, crab, and lobsters, is capable of handling cargo vessels up to 2000 gross tons. While leisure craft are now the main users of the harbour, Padstow maintains a thriving fleet of fishing vessels, contributing to regular landings of fish, crab, and lobsters. Additionally, the estuary supports a growing shellfish farming industry, producing mussels, cockles, oysters, and scallops.
