Kingsand & Cawsand Ferry
The Kingsand & Cawsand ferry is the pick of Plymouth's boat trips. Boats surge from the Mayflower Steps, across Plymouth Sound to the old Cornish smuggling villages of Kingsand and Cawsand. There you can wander the narrow streets, soak up the atmosphere of some salty pubs and browse the handful of shops.
