grayfo Says: Some kind of celebration has been held in Mevagissey for hundreds of years and was originally held in December. However this coincided with a busy fishing period and so in 1752 Mevagissey adopted St Peter as its patron saint and has held a festival to celebrate this date...

kevin36 Says: Be aware the harbour wall at Mevagissey can be very high at Low tide,so if you suffer from vertigo don't look over the side,oh and there are no rails on the South Side.DO NOT feed the seagulls as they can be very aggressive.
Geoff_Wright Says: Although seen as a major part of the holiday scene, Seagulls are becoming very menacing in many holiday locations, swooping down on people, and snatching food from their hands, etc. We were strolling along the quayside with wonderful fish and chips, and the seagulls were...

Helpfulness
Boating or Fishing near Mevagissey is not a problem,I took my 9ft dingy with me and fished outside the Harbour at Mevagissey,
there is a public slipway in the bay of Portmellon, if you look at the sea it is to the right of Mevagissey go over the hill and the bay is on your left.
Below i have put a link for tidetables for Mevagissey,should you wish to venture out.
By the way if you do ,you do not need to go far to catch mackeral ,I caught most of mine just outside the harbour to the right as you look out to sea, approx 400yds out from the sea wall.
You can also get tidetables from the harbour office or the tackle shop.
Equipment: If you dont want to take a boat for fishing there is a boat hire company that hires out dingys with outboards big enough for four people.try it they also supply small spinners on board ,but I would take my own rod and feather for mackeral.
A tip on cooking mackeral,wrap them in tin foil and throw them on the barbi,no need for anything else as they are an oily fish.
Lovely I can just taste it now.
Details for the tackle shop,who also arrange Shark Fishing Trips is below:

Geoff_Wright Says: Whenever you visit Mevagissey you will always find something different; the state of the tide, weather, or just different buildings. We sat here, near the Eastern breakwater, eating our lunch (fish and chips of course), and watched the boats in the outer harbour. The water...
The Harbour, I think it speaks for itself there is an inner Harbour and an outer Harbour and is still a working fishing village, I must admit it is a bit on the commercial side,but then where isn't...
