Chapel Street is a great place to start when exploring the town's shops, restaurants and pubs, and there are some great walking tours to give you a feel for the area.
Adventure enthusiasts shouldn't pass up on the opportunity to give coasteering a try, and Kernos Coasteering run beginner sessions throughout the year. A day out with Mermaid Pleasure Trips on a wildlife watching boat is always good fun too.

Many of the beaches in the area are pebbled, but East Beach is sandy, very shallow and dog friendly too.

Walkers and those who enjoy exploring on two wheels should check out the Penzance to Marazion Coast Path, while nature and history lovers alike will find exploring the Boscawen-un stone circle, Chysauster Ancient Village, Mên-an-Tol and the Merry Maidens stone circle time well spent.
