Mousehole is a small fishing village with a small strip of sand within the harbour, pebble/rocky beaches on either side of the harbour, and a tidal rock swimming pool.
Mousehole is worth exploring and not just visiting for the beach or tidal pool, as this is just about as typical as a Cornish fishing village can be, with narrow lanes to explore, hidden shops, galleries and plenty of places to eat.
Mousehole does not allow dogs at all within the harbour and the beach outside of the harbour has seasonal dog restrictions, prohibiting dogs from 1st July to 31st August between 10 am โ 6 pm.
There is a car park by the harbour, but the streets are narrow and get very busy in the summer. We recommended parking at the larger car park on The Parade just outside Mousehole and walking along the path by the tidal pool. The more energetic free car parking is on the road going down the hill.
