 MEVAGISSEY AND PORTMELLON The beautiful South Coast of Cornwall Things to see and do in the Area |
|
| Portmellon The cove at Portmellon features a sandy beach with a boat slip that is generally sheltered but can be subject to a good old battering in the winter months, in stark contrast to the calm still waters in the summer. There is the Rising Sun Inn, situated right by the beach, which has a car park and serves good food and drink. |

There are plenty of places to eat and drink; Fish and Chip shops, Pubs, Cafes and Restaurants. Plenty of opportunities to go out and do some fishing either on a boat or out on the end of the quay. Mevagissey Feast week begins on the last Sunday in June and starts with bang and literally ends in a bang. Lots for all the family every night of the week, ending with a carnival and fantastic fireworks display. |
