Drake's Island
★★★★☆
(25)
Drakes Island lies directly at the mouth of the River Tamar and before the Breakwater was built a number of ships that were blown into Plymouth Sound by southwesterly gales came to an untimely end on her rocky shores.
There is a range of marine life including sponges, hydroids, burrowing anemones. Scallops and plaice are often seen here too.
