Marazion is a small, historic seaside town on the northern edge of Mount's Bay in Cornwall, England, best known for its direct view of the tidal island of St Michael's Mount, which is linked to the town by a granite causeway at low tide. The town’s long, shallow sandy beach and low horizons make it popular for walkers, kite-surfers and photographers, while the harbour and historic streets give a strong sense of place.
Once connected with fishing and maritime trade, Marazion now relies heavily on tourism and a small creative economy of galleries, craft shops and cafés, alongside conservation interests led by the National Trust. Its compact community supports local events and a quiet year-round life that swells in summer, giving a mix of sleepy Cornish charm and lively visitor atmosphere.
