Seaview coastal home (5ppl) beaches 3min walk.

The ocean view speaks for itself 🌅. With two beaches a 3-minute walk (Porth & Lusty Glaze), and many more a little way further, you can leave the car on the drive. The South West Coast path is right here too (1-min walk), if you fancy stretching those legs! It's so quiet around here you'll forget you're a 15-minute walk from Newquay town centre, and only a 8-minute drive to Fistral Beach. It's a perfect spot for families & couples. We sleep up to 5 guests (and any four-legged family members).

All about Mawgan Porth

Situated on the dramatic north Cornish coast, Mawgan Porth is a small hamlet whose focal point is, undeniably, its picturesque beach. With a backdrop of sand dunes and grassy cliffs at each end, the beach is monitored by lifeguards from April to September, making this a sheltered spot for exploring rock pools, flying kites, and building sandcastles. The warm blue-green waters are popular for paddling, while the Atlantic waves offer excellent surfing and bodyboarding opportunities. The area around Mawgan Porth is also known for the incredible scenery of its walking routes. The South West Coastal Path passes through the village, making it possible to walk north to Padstow via the Bedruthan Steps or south to Newquay via Porth.

The town itself has a couple of traditional village stores, farm shops, and tearooms. Don’t miss out on a Cornish cream tea — a scone topped with strawberry jam and clotted cream. Foodies can enjoy pub fare at the local taverns or head to nearby gastro town Padstow to eat at famous restaurants owned by celebrity chefs.

Lanvean Bottoms

Less than a 10-minute drive from Mawgan Porth, Lanvean Bottoms is one of the area’s loveliest nature reserves. You’ll need sturdy footwear to explore this woodland, which is home to a patchwork of hazel, oak, and ash and the occasional pocket of scarlet elf cup fungus.
