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.
