Maenporth is a beautiful, east-facing sandy cove situated two miles south-southwest of Falmouth on the River Fal estuary. In September 1943, Maenporth played a unique wartime role when locals gathered goneria seaweed along the shore. The seaweed extract, agar, was critical for culturing penicillin to treat wounded Allied soldiers.
Vehicles have direct access to the beach front via a level, fee-paying public car park on the beach. Google view: https://maps.app.goo.gl/SwC72dJAwGTo9Gti7
