About Falmouth
Falmouth is a harbor town that offers its visitors beaches, visual and performance arts, as well as lively historic districts.
Falmouth is a town, civil parish and port on the River Fal on the south coast of Cornwall, England.
With its Georgian town houses converted into guest houses and small hotels, often overlooking one of the beaches, Falmouth has proven a popular holiday destination and it is now primarily a tourist resort. The five main beaches starting next to Pendennis Castle and moving along the coast towards the Helford river are Castle, Tunnel, Gyllyngvase, Swanpool and Maenporth beaches. The National Maritime Museum Cornwall opened in February 2003
