We visited St Mawes during a period of clear weather in late summer 2024.

While the village is often busy during the peak season, the atmosphere was noticeably quieter on this occasion.

The harbour features a mix of fishing boats and leisure craft, set against a backdrop of pastel-painted houses lining the narrow streets. The waterfront walk provides expansive views across the estuary towards Falmouth and the surrounding hills.

The village center includes several cafes with outdoor seating, offering a relaxed environment for visitors.

On the return journey, we made a stop at St Just in Roseland – check out my video here (shot back in 2022).

Late summer proves to be a much quieter time to visit the area, allowing for an appreciation of the scenery and coastal villages without the density of peak-season crowds.
