Helford Passage

Highlight • Beach

The beautiful Helford River forms a large scenic body of water that meanders its way between The Lizard and Falmouth. There are a number of stunning villages and beaches on both of its banks, Helford Passage being one of them. Situated on the north bank, this picturesque waterside hamlet has picture postcard cottages, houses, and a beach, as well as a ferry that operates on demand between Helford Passage and Helford village on the south bank. It only runs, however, on a seasonal basis between 1st April and 1st October. This is on a demand-only basis between 9.20am and 5pm. Dogs and bicycles are accepted on the crossing.
