Mevagissey (Cornish: Lannvorek) is a large English fishing village on the south coast of County Cornwall. It is located about 6 miles south of St Austell in Mevagissey Bay. At the harbor there is the free accessible aquarium. For the "Teatime" after the exploration tour through the village, we recommend a trip to the Teacup Tearoom.
