Marazion is the gateway to the enchanting St Michael's Mount, and being within easy travelling distance of all major attractions in Western Cornwall, it is the perfect base for your Cornish holiday.
The seaside town of Marazion has a prominent position on the shores of Mount's Bay, which is recognised as one of the top ten most beautiful bays in the world. Our clean, sandy beaches offer safe bathing, with views stretching from the Lizard Peninsula and across towards Land's End.
Marazion is a popular destination for windsurfing and kitesurfing, sailing and birdwatching. Twice a year thousands of starlings roost in the RSPB Reserve at Marazion Marsh. Their arrival at dusk is a truly spectacular sight.
The town has a long historic relationship with the Island and Castle of St Michael's Mount. Access to St Michael's Mount is by way of a causeway, once walked by pilgrims, which is revealed at low tide. At other times visitors to the Mount are ferried from Marazion in small boats.
St Michael's Mount, "the jewel in Cornwall's crown", receives visitors from all over the world who delight in the hospitality of Marazion's community. The town itself has a wide selection of restaurants and bars. Relaxing on the beach is an enchanting pastime being in full view of St Michael's Mount, and for the more energetic windsurfing and kitesurfing are favourite activities for many visitors.
