• PARKING - there is only one road in and out of Polruan so we recommend parking at the top of the village just past  the welcome sign into Polruan - at the Vevery Car Park, or subsequently further down the hill to the right at the car park on St Saviour's Hill and then walking down to the Quayside.  Please don't try to drive down to the quay if you can help it.  Access to the car park on the Quay is available year-round (except on August Bank Holiday Monday), but there are less than ten spaces and these are usually occupied for long term parking and deliveries.
  • FERRY - If you are driving, Bodinnick car ferry is 4 miles away, but the passenger ferry from Fowey drops you directly at the Quayside and usually runs all day from 7-11pm during the summer.  The car ferry runs from 7am until 8.45pm during summertime too (specific times for both can be obtained here).  Please note that off-season ferry times can be drastically reduced and weather dependant.
  • DOGS - animals are not allowed on the beach, Coal Wharf or the school playing field near Vevery Car Park coastal path.
  • PLAYGROUND - situated at the top of the hill by St Saviours Car Park, our playground boasts perhaps THE most stunning view of any playground in the country and caters for young children to mid-aged children.  Set at the Apex of Polruan Hill, this play facility has two slides, monkey bars, swings, a roundabout and climbing equipment set over acre of land.  The area is fenced in and dogs are not allowed to enter.   Now new gym equipment-the best view from any gymnasium.
