Marazion Holiday Attractions and Activities
On Marazion sea front is just a minutes walk from The Haven. It's a great place to stroll and look across the bay towards Newlyn and Mousehole in one direction and the Lizard Peninsular in the other. Marazion Marshes are well known for migrant and native bird watching. And of course, we are right by St. Michael's Mount which can be reached by walking the causeway at low tide. The beach also has a fenced children's playground.
The location is convenient for walking the South West Way and for cycling the country lanes. Broad expanses of golden sand slope gently to the waters edge. There are rock pools to explore and plenty of space for games.
The Haven is convenient for bus routes to Penzance and Falmouth and here is a mainline railway station at Penzance. Historic Penzance has a wide range of shops and facilities and several large supermarkets and the photo opposite shows the famous lighthouse at Penzance. Many National Trust and English Heritage properties and gardens can be found nearby.
The Haven is an ideal base for visits to the famous surf beaches of Sennen, Hayle, Newquay and Watergate Bay. Kite surfing is another popular activity. Sea fishing trips leave from the many harbours near Marazion.
Nearby St Ives, with its world renowned art community and galleries is a great trip.
Or how about going down a real tin mine at Geevor on the Atlantic coast near St Just-in-Penwith.
The Heliport with flights to the Isles of Scilly is a 5 minute drive away or you could fly with Skybus. If you'd rather sail you can travel to the Isles of Scilly aboard the Scillonian III.
Mounts Bay Sailing Club is only a minute from the house and provides temporary membership for visitors with a boat.
