Charlestown Harbour is set on the rugged, stunning, South Cornish Coastline. Charlestown is the last open 18th Century Georgian harbour in the UK and is proud to be a UNESCO world heritage site. When you enter Charlestown Harbour you are transported back in time. The Harbour has a unique history and geography and remains a vibrant working port, with classic Tallships, beautiful beaches and great places to eat and drink whilst enjoying the breath-taking views.
COVID-19 update, 1st June:
We are happy to update that the Outer Harbour and beaches are now open to the public. Whilst this is good news, the safety of our staff, vessel owners, traders and the public remain our priority. We therefore ask everyone to respect all those around you, adhere to social distancing guidelines and ensure you either take your litter home or dispose of it responsibly.
Charlestown Harbour is a great place to spend the day. From 31st March – 31st October the Inner Harbour is open – free of charge – to visitors who can explore the history of the Harbour from within. One of our resident classic ships, the Kajsamoor is also open during this period for visitors to step onboard and explore her rich history.
