Mawgan Porth (in Cornish: Porth Maugan, meaning "St. Mawgan's cove", or Porth Glyvyan, meaning "cove of the Gluvian River") is a beach and small settlement in north Cornwall, England. It is north of Watergate Bay, approximately four miles (6 km) north of Newquay,[1] on the Atlantic Ocean coast.
The town has recently seen a number of celebrities purchasing properties in the area leading to it becoming known as Hollywood-on-Sea[2]
Mawgan Porth is in the civil parish of Mawgan-in-Pydar, at the seaward end of the Vale of Lanherne (or Vale of Mawgan) where the River Menalhyl meets the sea. The hamlet consists of a pub, a general store, and several hotels, guest houses and caravan parks.
The sandy beach, backed by dunes with cliffs at each end, is quality-assessed and supervised by lifeguards during the summer. It is a popular surfing location. The South West Coast Path passes behind the beach and the area attracts holiday-makers.[3]
There are a number of local holiday parks in Mawgan Porth. The oldest is Magic Cove Touring Park;[4] Cosy Corner[5] is nearest to the beach, and then Sun Haven Valley Holiday Park.[6]
