Gorran Haven is a small coastal village on the south coast of Cornwall, England, tucked into a sheltered cove on the western side of St Austell Bay close to the Roseland Peninsula. The compact harbour, sandy beach and rocky coves are backed by granite cliffs and provide classic Cornish coastal scenery; the village sits inside the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is a popular stop for walkers on the South West Coast Path.
Once a modest fishing and pilchard port, Gorran Haven now balances a tourism economy - cafés, small shops and holiday accommodation - with a continuing local fishing presence and a tight-knit community feel. Its combination of dramatic coastline, rock‑pooling and quiet harbour atmosphere makes it a handy base for exploring nearby settlements such as Gorran Churchtown and Mevagissey.
