Mawgan Porth is roughly 4 miles north of Newquay, very popular with tourists as they love the stunning sandy beach and great surf. The beach is ideal for holiday makers with really easy access, RNLI lifeguards on patrol during the holiday season and top waves. The village sits where the River Menalhyl flows into the sea, ideal for families with kids that want to play in the sand and build the best sand castles, dams and just be kids! Backing onto the village, there are a few shops and local pubs like the Merrymoor Inn and nearby are the Bedruthan Steps which are a must visit.
Mawgan Porth has a laid-back surfery vibe but isn't as busy and congested as Newquay, it is more of a village atmosphere around the surf scene. If the wether is not that great, you can enjoy a walk along the South West Coast Path in either direction or visit Newquay itself with numerous attaractions, beaches and great shopping. There is a really good selection of holiday cottages in Mawgan Porth to enjoy from flats to luxury holiday homes, if you want more, please click here to see local caravan parks in Newquay that offer caravans and lodges with a wide selection on offer.
