St Catherines

This bay is made up of lots of small coves, which are sometimes hard to find! At the northern end of the bay is the breakwater, where there is a very popular cafe. The harbour at St. Catherine’s was intended to be used by the Royal Navy during wartime, and was to be used as forward bases during a blockade of the French coast.  It is now used mainly by leisure craft as a quiet anchorage. Fishermen use the long breakwater for catching conger eels, mackerel and bass.
