St Mawes, Roseland Peninsula, Cornwall, England
Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. Todays post is all about St Mawes which is located on the south coast of Cornwall.
I have never visited St Mawes before but, it was actually on my 2019 Cornish Bucket List to take the river Fal ferry across to Falmouth or vice versa. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen as we ran out of time however, we did get to have a good look around the town and sat down and had a cream tea, yum.

Water sports
St Mawes and the surrounding area is well known for its boating and yachting. St Mawes alone boasts 3 boatyards with numerous moorings and anchorages. However, an increase in leisure boat ownership has led to a waiting list for moorings. The local sailing clubs in St Mawes, Portscatho and Portloe are extremely active, arranging racing events and evening functions for locals and visitors alike.
Car parking
If you’re visiting on a day trip to St Mawes I would highly recommend arriving early as we only saw one car park near the harbour and it wasn’t extremely large in size. Also can I add, the ticket machine was one of the weirdest machines ever! I would highly recommend reading the instructions instead of trying to work it out like me.
Other posts
While you’re in the area I would highly recommend visiting Rosevine, I personally think that it is one of the prettiest places in Cornwall.
I hope you enjoyed this post and that you visit the coastal town soon. I would try and do it before the holidays, haha. If you wanted to see more of an uncut version of our day there, then check out my Cornwall highlights on my instagram.
Lots of love, Melissa x
