Plymouth is a historic waterfront city in Devon, where the River Tamar meets the English Channel. Its sheltered Sound, busy harbour and long naval heritage give the city a strong connection with the sea, while the surrounding coastline offers plenty of opportunities for sailing, fishing, walking and exploring. From the waterfront around The Hoe to the harbour entrances and nearby beaches, the changing tide can make a noticeable difference to the coastline. Check our Plymouth tide times for upcoming high and low waters and plan your time by the sea accordingly.
