Located on the South West Coast Path, there are also a number of cliff top and shoreside walks for you and your pup to talk near Mawgan Porth. One particularly popular route is the walk to Padstow, which goes past the Bedruthan Steps. According to legend, the Bedruthan Steps were stepping stones for the Giant Bedruthan, but today they make for a great photo opportunity.

Mawgan Porth beach is arguably its biggest attraction and has everything you could possibly need for a memorable beach day. With sandy shores perfect for sunbathing and building sandcastles, rockpools and caves to explore, a large stream running down the south side and great surf for watersports enthusiasts, this beach has something for everyone.

Mawgan Porth village also has a number of pubs and restaurants for when you fancy a break from self-catering, as well as shops for when you need to stock up for meals and snacks in your cottage.

With an ever-changing set menu filled with delicious local produce, organic food and seasonal wines and a dining room overlooking the sea, this restaurant is perfect for a night to remember. The Wild Cafe near Bedruthan rocks is perfect for children, who are treated to their very own set menu, while the rest of Mawgan Porth is dotted with seafood, fish and chips, pizza and coffee and cake options.
