Sea Life in Mevagissey

After St. Austell, we visited Mevagissey on Thursday evening for dinner and a bit of crabbing. The harbor, like all the Cornish harbor towns we visited, was incredibly picturesque.

We explored the town, and found fish and chips for dinner.

So pretty.

This cracked me up. As safety-conscious as Britain is, the parts of the wall facing the harbor are just open, no fencing of any kind. Those painted lines provide all the warning English children need!




















The girls remembered our crabbing adventures in Brixham in 2014, and had been eager to get crablines again. At each town, Violet, especially, asked repeatedly about when we could catch crabs.

Finally, we were set up and dropping the mackerel-filled net bags down the harbor wall.


After a bit, we caught a crab. Success!

While hoping for another crab, we spotted this seal in the water.

We then made our way to our Premier Inn outside Newquay and got settled in. Three nights in the same hotel! What a treat!
