1. Warmer sea swims

Cornwall’s waters have had all summer to warm up, making October a great time for a refreshing swim or paddle at the beach. We’re spoiled for choice with swim spots in Fowey, but one of our favourites is Readymoney Cove, just a short 2 minute stroll from Marners Rock No.3.

2. Time for a dog-friendly holiday

The intense summer sun has mellowed down, the air is cooler, and the dog bans are lifted on most Cornish beaches. We recommend October as a great month to visit Fowey with your four-legged friends. All of our holiday apartments are dog-friendly too!

3. Dramatic skies

During autumn, the sunrises and sunsets across Cornwall are extra special, and you don’t have to be awake at the crack of dawn or staying up until late to witness one.

4. Cornish comfort food

When it comes to comforting food for the cooler months, Cornwall is the place to be. Think piping hot pasties, delicious fudge, fish pies, and pints of Cornish ale. Eat your way around all of Fowey’s scrumptious cafes, bars, and restaurants.

5. A slice of Fowey all to yourself

October is the perfect time to experience Fowey at a slower pace. Wander the pretty streets, browse the independent shops and soak up the views across the estuary, without the hustle and bustle of peak season.
