Marazion, West Cornwall

400m from the cottage gate to the beach

A small town with a very large view

Marazion is one of Britain's oldest chartered towns, and it sits directly across the water from St Michael's Mount. Two beaches, a working harbour, and the Cornish coast path all begin at the end of the garden.

Beach life

Two beaches, two moods

The main beach is golden sand, lifeguard-patrolled in summer, and popular with sailors, wind- and kite-surfers. A short walk further, Tieb Beach is dog-friendly year-round, with rock pools and pebbles to explore at low tide.
