Mount’s Bay
With endless views of the iconic St Michael’s Mount, the countryside surrounding Mount’s Bay offers a varied landscape of low hills and golden sandy beaches.
It’s no wonder it’s been hailed as one of the ‘Most Beautiful Bays in the World’. It is a praise that is undoubtedly deserved by this landscape of sparkling water and its stunning coastline that runs in a great arc from Land’s End to Lizard Point. Scattered along the Bay are the communities of Mousehole, Newlyn, Penzance and Marazion, each offering something a little different.
With galleries and gardens, vineyards and ancient monuments, the area around Mount’s Bay has plenty to fill a few days away. Magnificent cliffs, rocky coves, spotless sandy beaches and crystal-clear seas blend with the heather and gorse of the moors and early Christian and Bronze Age sites to form a terrain that is the heritage of a proud culture and a source of inspiration for artists, writers and poets.
Mount’s Bay is often likened to Paria Bay in Venezuela, San Francisco Bay and Cape Cod in the United States, and Santorini Bay in Greece as a prestigious worldwide association member.
