Mevagissey

Mevagissey is a village and fishing port. The village is situated five miles south of St Austell.
It nestles in a small valley and faces east to Mevagissey Bay. The inner and outer harbours have a mixture of pleasure vessels and fishing boats, the remains of a once major industry. However, tourism has supplanted fishing as the dominant industry in recent years.
Mevagissey village centre consists of narrow streets with many places to eat and shops aimed at the tourist trade. The outer areas are built on the steep slopes of the surrounding hillsides and are mostly residential.
