The Pandora Inn is on the bank of Restronguet Creek at Restronguet, postcode TR11 5ST, on the northern edge of Mylor parish. You can reach it by road or by water, and its pontoon beer garden lets boats, kayaks and paddleboards moor up. CAMRA notes that road access can be restricted at busy times, mainly in summer.

Historic England's listing dates the inn to about the 17th century, mostly rebuilt in the 19th century and extended in the 20th. It is Grade II listed, with a roof mostly thatched in wheat reed. It takes its name from HMS Pandora, the ship sent to capture the mutineers of the Bounty. A boat that once crossed the creek here carried the post road between Falmouth and Truro.

Yes, the village has a pub of its own, and the Pandora Inn is a short drive or creekside walk away on Restronguet Creek. There is also a bar restaurant and a cafe at Mylor Yacht Harbour in Mylor Churchtown. A circular creek walk of about 4 miles links the village with the Pandora.

Mylor Yacht Harbour is a fully staffed marina with all tides access, pontoon berths, moorings, a fuel pontoon and a boatyard. Visitors can use the cafe and bar restaurant, hire a boat or launch a kayak or paddleboard into the creek. It is at Mylor Churchtown, TR11 5UF, and has been owned by the Graffy family since 1997.

All parking at the yacht harbour is pay and display. Zones 1, 2 and 4 have machines that take coins and cards, and you can also pay by the JustPark app. Stays over 24 hours use the long stay zones in the tree lined valley, with passes from the attendant, reception or the marina office.

Buses run between Mylor Bridge and Truro, Penryn, Flushing and Falmouth. Mylor Bridge is about five miles north of Falmouth, and Mylor Churchtown and the harbour are a short way down the creek. Check Traveline South West for current times before you travel.
