Holiday makers have long been drawn to the picture postcard town of Mevagissey on the south Cornwall coast. The charm and character of Mevagissey is centred on its harbour, built hundreds of years ago and now lined by holiday cottages.
The holiday industry has now replaced smuggling though commercial fishing remains a mainstay of the community in Mevagissey. The West and East Quay frame the harbour to create great opportunities for that perfect holiday snap.

During the summer, a ferry takes holiday makers along the coast from Mevagissey to Fowey – a relaxing way to enjoy this stunning coastline.
