Your guide to Mawgan Porth

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. Mawgan Porth is the perfect base for a peaceful escape whilst also being ideally located to explore the sights of Cornwall, with its rich cultural heritage and abundant wildlife.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Mawgan Porth

For long, sunny beach days, book your stay in a Mawgan Porth cottage during the summer months. In addition to perfect weather for exploring the area’s natural wonders, summer brings plenty of quirky local events like an annual duck race that sees hundreds of plastic ducks heading for the finish line. If you don’t mind cooler weather, visit at the end of November to experience the festive Bedruthan Christmas Fayre. Over 50 of Cornwall’s finest artisans come to showcase their creations, making for a great holiday shopping opportunity.


Top things to do in Mawgan Porth

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. Keep your eyes peeled for the local dormouse population at ground level and collared doves and sand martins overhead.

Japanese Garden and Bonsai Nursery

In neighbouring St. Mawgan, less than a 10-minute drive from Mawgan Porth, you’ll find a bonsai tree nursery and traditional Japanese garden with carp ponds, cherry blossoms, water features, and wooden bridges. Created to encourage mediation and reflection, this peaceful spot is the perfect place for a couple of hours of exploration and restoration. The gardens are open to the public from March through October.

Mawgan Porth Beach

You can’t visit the village without setting foot on Mawgan Porth’s stunning beach. Acres of clean sand and the shallow turquoise waters make for hours of enjoyment. Pack a picnic of Cornish pasties and locally brewed cider for a truly Cornish seaside experience. Adventurous visitors can hit the waves — a surf school and shop can provide all the equipment you may need, as well as instruction suitable for all levels, even complete beginners.
