Jennycliff Bay
If the winds are from the East and you Kingsand /Cawsand are unteanable, consider Jennycliff. This is an excellent anchorage out of the way of the big ships, but still close enough to make a dinghy trip into Plymouth a proposition. Holding is good. Trip to the shore leads to a beach with lots of dog walkers, but absolutely fantastic rock pools for the kids to amuse themselves and delve into the Sound’s wildlife (spotted some interesting pipefish last time). I suppose that a walk to Turnchapel over the hill will bring you to a pub – I but I have tried to do so.
No charge levied yet here. Good old fashioned harbour anchorage with great views on the Sound and its traffic through the narrows around Drake’s Island
If you land at Jennycliffe there is a short walk to Plymouth Yacht Haven (marine facilities, loos, restaurant etc) and two good pubs, the Boringdon Arms and the Clovelly Bay Inn, both of which do excellent food. There is also a water taxi from here to the Barbican in Plymouth if you don’t want to dinghy over.
