Falmouth Harbor on a Sunday

[Nearpost345]

We were curious if anyone has experienced the harbour on a Sunday. It looks like Nelson dockyards museum is closed, but are there still things to do?

Thank you

While the museum may be closed, you can walk around the Dockyards as the fortifications are quite extensive.  There will also be some of the nicest sailboats on the planet in the harbor so boat watching is certainly on the agenda. You can also take a cab for the 10 minute ride to Shirley Heights and take in the spectacular view.  If your ship stays late, then you can go to the Shirley Heights Sunset Party which happens only on Sundays.  Food stalls, temporary bars and several bands are on site.  We have been a few times and usually a few hundred people show up to this thing, pretty busy and lively.  You could also go and have lunch on Pigeon beach right next door at Catherine's Café.  Nice French fare and great location under the trees on Pigeon Beach. If you are more adventurous, Half Moon Bay is nicest beach on the island but it's a 45 minutes taxi ride.  If you go. there's a small basic beach shack nearby and locals renting chairs and umbrellas on the beach itself

Hi misty

As usual thank you, it’s so considerate of you to write that lengthy guide for me. Thank you to the moderators for putting my post in the correct forum.

Well we were pleased to discover that the Nelson dockyard was open on Sunday 10 th March. Also the staff at Lucky Eddi’s sports bar bent over backwards to accommodate me regarding an event I wanted to view.
