About Marazion
Marazion is a small town on the shore of Mount's Bay, 2 miles east of Penzance, with around 1,500 people in its parish. A causeway links it to St Michael's Mount at low tide, and passenger boats take over when the tide is in. Marazion Marsh, an RSPB reserve, lies on the western side of town. The beach has a seasonal RNLI lifeguard service each summer with a dedicated swimming area. The town has cafés, pubs, restaurants and a run of art and gift shops, with more choice in Penzance. The homes are spread around Marazion and its neighbouring villages rather than all in the town, so some stays will be a short drive from the causeway.
