Can anyone point me in the direction of a launch site for my T38 around St Austell / Mevegissey please ? Not Pentewan as I have a Dog.

Thanks in advance.

Charlestown Beach slipway maybe worth looking into https://gopaddling.info/paddlepoints/

A slip at port Mellon that you can wheel down with a small car park just in the corner by the pub.. just don't drive the car onto the sand....;)

Or a free slip at Golant up the river from fowey.. but it's very steep and as always very steep to cater for tides...

I seem to remember Portmellon from years ago.
Many thanks folks, that is a start.

This is portmellon. General advice is don't drive a car on the sand. But you can back down the hard slip way. Or inflate etc in the small car park over the road and wheel down and across the sand . Pub does great roasts and beer.. ( being had when I took the pic!)

Slip is just out of shot on right
