About St Mawes

Nestled on the stunning Roseland Peninsula in South Cornwall, designated as an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for its quality of landscape and unrivalled coastal scenery. We are surrounded by secluded coves, delightful creeks, lush countryside, tranquil beaches and scenic cliffs.

Facing south across the Fal estuary, the village is spectacular with a strong sense of community, all centered around the Harbour and waterside. With its cobbled narrow streets and abundance of shops, galleries, and restaurants, it’s and ideal destination to relax, enjoy the sea air, eat fabulous seafood and explore the surrounding areas.

Its location on the Roseland peninsula gives easy access to some of the most beautiful Cornish landmarks and destinations including Falmouth, St Anthony Lighthouse, Trelissick, Porthscatho and many more. The Roseland is also a walker’s paradise. Being a peninsula, it has a great variety of both coastal and inland walks, offering fabulous walking all year round.

For the more adventurous St Mawes is a centre for all things water related; Sailing, Power Boating, Water Sports, Fishing and Wild swimming, the location means all these and many more activities area right on your doorstep.
