Situated at the most eastern point of the Roseland Peninsula,
this village is set well off the beaten track and is one of those places that you only
reach if you are either lost or intend on being there.
It is about 3 1/2 miles from Mevagissey reachable by road or on
foot via the South West Coast Path.The bay of Gorran Haven is sheltered from
the prevailing west winds by Dodman Point. Bathers can enjoy the luxury of
two sandy beaches offering safe bathing. Great Perhaver is accessible only
by boat and very rarely on a spring tide. BEWARE!!!
The valley of Gorran Haven enjoys good shelter from the elements apart from
when there is an easterly wind. The area enjoy an abundence of flora and fauna
including wild flowers and a wide variety of birds.
The sea angler will feel at home here, with numerous secluded spots along
the cliffs. Alternatively, why not sit and relax on the quay and watch the
local fishermen haul in their catch at the end of the day?
