Getting there and the terminal
The Scillonian leaves from the South Pier on Wharf Road, postcode TR18 4AH. There is no parking on the South Pier itself. Penzance station is on the same road, around 800 metres away, roughly a ten-minute walk.
If you are driving and staying several days, use the operator's park and ride on the A30 towards Land's End (TR20 8TH). It has to be booked at least 48 hours in advance, opens 2 hours and 15 minutes before departure and closes an hour beforehand; it is not meant for day trips. Drop fellow travellers, luggage and animals at the quay first. For short stays the town car parks work: Harbour Long Stay (TR18 2GB) is around 800 metres from the quay, Wherrytown Long Stay (TR18 4NP) around 1.1 kilometres.
