Marazion Beach
Marazion, Mount's Bay, Cornwall, United Kingdom
Marazion is a wide sandy beach in Mount's Bay near Penzance, framed by the iconic silhouette of St Michael's Mount rising from the sea. The prevailing southwest wind blows side shore across shallow water that transitions from mellow flat inside to open Atlantic chop further out, suiting wingfoilers of all abilities. Conditions range from beginner friendly light wind days to genuine wave sessions when southwest swell wraps into the bay. Unmistakeable scenery.

Local tips
Pasty Adventures and Ocean High both run wingfoil coaching from this beach. Works from west around to southeast, so it stays rideable on most wind days. Low tide exposes broad sand flats ideal for rigging.
