Where can I park my car?
There is plenty of parking around the harbour area, it's best to look on Google maps to get a better idea. The long stay car park on the cove side of the harbour is about a 15 minute walk to our kiosk and the boat landings. Please leave plenty of time to park as it can get extremely busy, our boats can't wait for you on the landings if you're running late as it is a working harbour, if you miss your trip you will still be charged.
Meeting Point
Meet at Kiosk 3 on Ilfracombe Harbour 15 minutes prior to your departure time.
