For the purposes of this guide, Mid Cornwall is the coast from Fowey to Falmouth. This part of the coast has a varied selection of beaches from popular family beaches to quiet coves.

There are plenty of picturesque towns and villages on the coast, such as Fowey, Charlestown, Mevagissey, St Mawes and Falmouth. Inland, the Eden Project is a world famous visitor attraction close to St Austell. Cornwall's only city Truro is also worth visiting.

There is plenty of good scenery and good walking on the coast especially around the headlands of Gribbin Head, Dodman Point and St Anthony Head.

The region is accessible via the A390 and A39 main roads. There are smaller roads to access a lot of the coast
