Direction to Mevagissey Lighthouse Quay Car Park:
Follow the one-way system into the heart of the village and proceed along Church Street. When
you reach the cobbled area on the left, follow those cobbles until the harbour appears in front of
you. Turn right at this point (straight ahead is private parking) and go straight on. About 50 yards
past the jetty, on your right you will find the parking bays for disabled drivers. Bearing left you will
pass the Toilets and then the Aquarium, after which you may park in any of the areas indicated
above.
