Fern Pit Cafe and Ferry is a family run Cafe famous for its Crab sandwich, with spectacular views over the River Gannel and Crantock Beach. We provide a path down to a Ferry boathouse on the River Gannel where on view are locally caught shellfish from our own fishing vessel 'Excelsior'. From here you can access Crantock Beach via a Low water footbridge or the Ferry at High water to Crantock Beach.
