Mawgan Porth beach has also been described as “one of Cornwall’s best-dog friendly beaches” by Perfect Stays as your furry best friend is allowed on the beach all year round and the beach stretches out for miles which makes it the best spot for dogs to run around. 

Once at Mawgan Porth visitors should make their way to the Bedruthan Steps, a towering rock formation known for its incredible views of the ocean. The name ‘Bedruthan Steps’ comes from Cornish folklore about the giant Bedruthan,  was was said to use the rocks to travel across the Atlantic coast. 

The  Bedruthan Steps is also perfect for wildlife lovers as it is known to be a great birdwatching spot but what makes it a beautiful hike is the gorgeous wildflowers in the area, with flowers such as purple heathers and yellow gorse making it the perfect backdrop to take photographs. 

After taking the sights visitors should visit the historic Carnewas Tea Room which overlooks the Bedruthan Steps, as this cosy establishment is famous for its cream tea scones and was once an old mining stable that has been transformed into a pretty cafe with tea gardens.
