Small boat returning to Polperro Harbour
Much photographed, this is a working harbour with an active fishing fleet.
It is administered by 15 elected Harbour Trustees who are resident Polperro ratepayers.
A 25 tonne storm gate was constructed in 1978 to protect the harbour against wave action. This was enhanced in 2010, at a cost of £350,000, to give added protection from tidal surges.
