Trevanion: Sleeps 4 Self Catering Close to Marazio

The beautiful town of Marazion, set on the shores of Mount's Bay, has for long been a hot favourite for tourism in West Cornwall. Its clean, sandy beaches, with stunning views toward the Lizard Peninsula and Land's End, have established Marazion as the most wonderful destination for beach holidays in Cornwall.

Mount's Bay, renowned as one of the most beautiful bays in the world, provides a safe seaside environment for swimming. Marazion is also a popular destination for windsurfing, kitesurfing and sailing. A number of major sporting events in these fields are held on Marazion's beaches.

Marazion is perhaps more widely famed as being the gateway to the enchanting Saint Michael's Mount, the jewel in Cornwall's crown. Saint Michael's Mount is accessed by a causeway, once walked by pilgrims in honour of the alleged appearance of Saint Michael, which is revealed at low tide. At other times visitors are ferried from Marazion to the Mount in small boats.

Marazion is within easy travelling distance of all major attractions in West Cornwall, and is the ideal base for your holiday in Cornwall. Marazion is a short distance along the beach from Penzance, and from here it is simple to travel to Land's End, St Ives, Newquay, Helston, and the popular destinations of the Minack Theatre, the St. Ives Tate Gallery and the Eden Project.

Marazion itself has a wide selection of accommodation, ranging from guesthouses, camp sites, caravan parks, bed & breakfast accommodation, and hotels. Marazion is filled with a lovely variety of restaurants, bars and pubs. Shoppers will be delighted with the variety of gift and craft shops, while art lovers will find hours of pleasure perusing the many art galleries showing prominent local artists. Relaxing on the beach is an enchanting pastime, being in full view of Saint Michael's Mount, and for the more energetic windsurfing, kitesurfing and sailing are favourite activities for many visitors. Kitesurfing and windsurfing lessons are available on the beach, and Marazion has its own sailing club.
