Marazion
An ancient town across from St Michael's Mount, with a long sandy beach ideal for walking and kitesurfing. It is the starting point for the causeway to the island.
Marazion is one of Britain's oldest chartered market towns, with galleries and small restaurants along its main street. Its long beach faces Mount's Bay, and windsurfers and kitesurfers are often out on the water. To the east of town, Marazion Marsh is an RSPB wetland reserve good for birdwatching. There are several paid car parks in the town center. It is about a 15-minute bus ride from Penzance, or about an hour's walk along the seafront.
