9.6 miles from The Carn
Rugged granite ledges around the Mawnan side of the Helford mouth (Rosemullion Head). Deep water close in over kelp and broken ground with tide run on the headland points; pockets of cleaner sand toward Maenporth. Very snaggy but productive: wrasse and pollack from the gullies, summer pelagics in clearer water,...
