Lobster, crab and inshore trawl catches are the mainstay of Padstow, a tidal harbour on the River Camel estuary in Cornwall. For freight forwarders its commercial relevance is limited: there are no liner or container services, and only occasional bulk loads such as sand and roadstone pass through the outer tidal harbour. A tidal gate protects the inner basin, which mainly serves the fishing fleet and leisure craft. Containers, breakbulk or customs clearance are best routed through the larger ports of Fowey, Falmouth or Plymouth.
