Mawgan Porth

The hamlet consists of a pub, a general store, and several hotels, guest houses and caravan parks.

The sandy beach, backed by dunes with cliffs at each end, is quality-assessed and supervised by lifeguards during the summer.

The South West Coast Path passes behind the beach and the area attracts holiday-makers.
