Like Devoran this was once an place in which quite large ships berthed. The tin mining inland, while providing the goods to be shipped out, also provided the mud which washed into Restronguet Creek greatly decreasing the water depth and making such commerce impossible. Today it is the home of pleasure craft and very expensive houses.
