Mevagissey, a village and fishing port in Cornwall, is situated around five miles (8 km) south of St Austell. The village nestles in a small valley and faces east to Mevagissey Bay. The inner and outer harbours are busy with a mixture of pleasure vessels and working fishing boats, the remains of a once major industry. However, tourism has supplanted fishing as the dominant industry in recent years. Mevagissey village centre consists of narrow streets with many places to eat and shops aimed at the tourist trade. The outer areas are built on the steep slopes of the surrounding hillsides and are where you'll find our Mevagissey Cottages. In addition, it is close to a number of beautiful beaches such as the one in Portmellon Cove, a small walk away.
