Penzance Quay is a working harbour located on the south coast of Cornwall. The area features a mix of fishing boats, leisure vessels, and occasional ferry services to the Isles of Scilly. The quay is lined with granite buildings, some dating back to the 19th century, housing seafood restaurants, cafes, and small shops. The tidal nature of the harbour means the water level changes significantly throughout the day.
The quay stretches along the seafront, offering views across Mount's Bay towards St Michael's Mount. A promenade runs alongside, popular for walks and fishing. The area remains functional rather than tourist-focused, with fish markets and boat repairs taking place alongside visitor amenities. Nearby landmarks include the Jubilee Pool and Penzance railway station, connecting the harbour to the town centre.
