Holidays in Mevagissey
Wish you were here already? Watch our Mevagissey webcam here>
Best known for its harbour and fishing boats, Mevagissey still boasts as being part of Cornwall’s thriving fishing industry. Fresh fish can even be bought from the hut on the harbour wall, located a short stroll from the village aquarium, once the lifeboat station. Wander around the harbour area, with its narrow streets, fascinating shops and galleries and recall its smuggling history, or just relax in the bars and restaurants and coves and on nearby beaches.
If you are lucky enough to be here during Mevagissey Feast Week in the summer, do take full advantage of the activities being held. Said to be the oldest festival in Cornwall, it attracts exhibitions, live music, parades, a fete and wonderful firework display.
There is a ferry boat which runs from end of April to beginning of October from Mevagissey to Fowey three or four times a day (don’t miss the return journey!) – journey time about 35 minutes. You may be lucky and spot some playful dolphins!
Beaches
Pentewan Beach is the nearest large sandy beach situated a little north of Mevagissey. Please note that dogs are not allowed on the beach from 1 March to 1 November.
Polstreath Beach is also known as Mevagissey beach. It is located just north of Mevagissey and is accessed via the coastal path and steep steps down to the cove.
Gorran Haven beach can be reached via the coastal path, or is just a short drive away. Just two miles from Mevagissey, the quaint village of Gorran Haven has some lovely pubs and cafés, and a gorgeous sandy beach which is a great spot for swimming and kayaking.
Walks
There are some wonderful walks in and around Mevagissey, especially if you take the coastal path. You can head south to Gorran Haven, a small fishing village with a beautiful beach, just two miles from Mevagissey. Alternatively, if you travel north, you can head towards Pentewen, another small village with a lovely beach. From Pentewen, you can take the trail through the woods, or if you prefer, you can hire a bike from Pentewen to explore the woodland on wheels.

Ms Russell Sep 2020
We cannot fault our stay. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, very quiet and well equipped. We would stay here again.
Mr Creber Aug 2020
Really lovely apartment. Perfectly positioned for a stroll into mevigassy and lovely views of the neighbouring bay. Very comfortable furnishings and lovely outside space
Ms Geddes Aug 2020
We had a lovely few days in the apartment. It was so clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the location, it was so nice to walk into Mevagissey to enjoy the restaurants and pubs. Also the coastal walk to Goran was beautiful. Looking forward to returning in the near future.
Mr Case Aug 2020
We had a great week staying at Countryside Hideout in August 2020. Fantastic location, 10 minute stroll to Mevagissey, so much to do and see in the village with so much choice of eating out. Amazing view from balcony and main bedroom out to Portmellon and the headland. Apartment was spotlessly clean on arrival with everything we needed. Easy access to great walks on the coastal paths. Great location for exploring the surrounding area.
Mrs Gunton Aug 2020
We had a really lovely week with our two teenage children in this lovely, modern property. The location is fabulous, with interest in both directions - both Mevagissey and Port Mellon are lovely places to walk to in the morning or evening and the little shop at Port Mellon had some lovely produce for sale, as well as having a pub which was serving drinks from the front door due to Covid restrictions. It was also wonderful to walk on the coastal path to Gorran Haven which is another lovely, quaint village with a lovely harbour wall and a fantastic fish & chip shop. The apartment has quite a small living space, but has everything you need and it was lovely to enjoy a glimpse of the sea from the front windows. We were lucky to have good weather so spent most of the time outdoors and enjoyed evenings in the apartment. You would not really need to use your car for a week in this property which is also a real bonus.
