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.

Pondokkie is a fantastic house for families with teenagers. We all had our own space but also lots of space to be a family. The house is comfortable and provides everything you need for a home from home holiday. The views are amazing. Mevagissey is a nice traditional Cornish fishing village. We would all strongly recommend. The owners are the most delightful people; so generous and kind. They really care and help with plans for the day and night. Thank you!!!
Mrs Quegan Aug 2020
Lovely house with sea views over the roofs of Mevagissey. Owners live next door and cannot do enough to ensure a wonderful stay. Fine terrace overlooking sloping garden. Dog friendly.
Mr Hoyle Jul 2020
Pondokkie is an absolute delight and a credit to the owners Jo and Paul who were always on hand if needed but never imposing. The house is so comfortable and we immediately felt relaxed given the homely feel to the property. Views are memorable and location also excellent. We liked it so much we’ve already planned our return visit.

House was lovely and comfortable and in a quiet location. Great sea views. Walk back up hill takes about 10-15 mins for a relatively fit person. Owner who lives next door very welcoming and helpful.
