By car
The Museum is at the southern end of Falmouth’s harbour side, between the main shopping area and Falmouth Docks.
There are brown signs (with an anchor) to assist you on the outskirts of Falmouth, but limited further signs on the A39 so please keep going on the A39 (past Merchants Manor Hotel on your right, then Fox Rosehill Gardens on your left) until you are directed to take a left turn by a brown sign which lists the Maritime Museum with the anchor. Follow this along Avenue Road and you will see the Maritime Car Park.
