At low tide several small beaches are exposed on the Eastern side of the Fal Estuary. In the background is Turnaware Point at the start of the "river" proper. In fact the estuary is a drowned valley or "ria" and the rivers that feed it, the Fal, Allen and Carnon, are relatively insignificant. The overwhelming flow of water is saline and tidal.
