The
beach is literally 'at the bottom of the garden' and we have our
own private access. Our town of Marazion is well worth exploring
and a 'must' is the walk across the causeway at low tide to St
Michael's Mount; or take a pleasant motor boat trip if the tide
is in.
The
wide sandy beaches of Marazion and the adjoining Long Rock and
Eastern Green beaches are on the one hand and in the other direction
are a multitude of smaller beaches, some are sandy while others
are rocky coves.

Penzance
is an old town with many interesting shops including a growing
number of antique shops in the Chapel Street area. It has a museum
and an art-gallery where a particular feature is the famous Newlyn
School of artists.
There
is the interest of the port and busy harbour and, unusual for
Cornwall, the Victorian-style Promenade. Adjoining Penzance is
colourful Newlyn, Britains busiest fishing port, with constant
activity on the quays, which are open to the public.
Just
a little further along the coast is Mousehole with its pint-sized
harbour and picturesque streets. Space prevents us enlarging on
the many pleasures of the coastal footpath, tiny coves with sandy
beaches, craggy coves with rock pools and the sheer delight of
this part of Cornwall.
