Understand
Enjoy time wandering around the harbour and the shops, eating Cornish pasty's or ice cream. There's a number of restaurants and pubs and it's a good base for visiting local attractions such as the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden project.
There's a large car park as you enter the village which is a good place to stop since the lanes ahead get quite narrow and busy, especially in the Summer months.
The winter months are also a great time to visit, especially over New Year where everyone dresses up in fancy dress and wander between the pubs.

Get out
During the summer months there's a regular passenger ferry between Mevagissey and Fowey, which is a nice way to spend 30 minutes on a sunny day. Alternatively walk along the coastal path in either direction passing by some beautiful and quiet beaches, or hire cycles in the nearby Pentewan village and go for a ride along the many cycle paths nearby.
