Family

Town-side access and nearby services make this comparatively straightforward, subject to tide and water-quality advice.

Fishing

Current exact research identifies the rocky margins, particularly toward St Catherine's side, as the useful zones rather than the central family sand. Wrasse, pollack and mullet are the main light-tackle prospects, with garfish, mackerel and scad in summer and bass possible when colour or swell reaches the cove.

Species reported: Wrasse and pollack, Mullet, Garfish, mackerel and scad, Bass

Crabbing

rock pooling only — Readymoney has tidal rock pools. Fowey's verified crabbing spots are Albert Quay Steps pontoon, Passage Street slipway, Caffa Mill and Polruan Quay; these are separate zones with boat and drop risks.
