Mevagissey, with its narrow winding streets and cottages built into the cliffs above the harbour, is one of the most picturesque and popular destinations in Cornwall.

This beautiful fishing village attracts both those who wish to spend their days relaxing and watching the activities of the fishermen on the quayside, and the more energetic taking a break from walking the Coast Path.

Not only is it possible to watch the fish and shellfish being landed and sold, but deep-sea angling, shark or mackerel fishing trips are available from the quay, offering the opportunity to get out on the water to see the coast from a different perspective.

Those wanting to know more about the history of Mevagissey should pay a visit to the fascinating museum, housed in what was once the yard and workshop of the first boat builders in the village. The Harbour Aquarium, re-opened in 2006, is an important attraction and attracting thousands of visitors.
