Marazion is a small coastal town and civil parish on Mount's Bay in Cornwall, England, dominated by views of St Michael's Mount, the tidal island with a medieval castle reached by a cobbled causeway at low tide.
Marazion grew as a market and fishing settlement and carries its smuggling lore, but today the local economy relies on tourism, arts and hospitality - sandy beaches, independent galleries and cafés draw visitors, while the nearby Marazion Marsh nature reserve is valued for birdlife and the close proximity to Penzance keeps the area lively despite a small, close-knit community.
