Parking at Mevagissey Lighthouse Quay Car Park:
You can drive straight onto the harbour. There are some 60++ parking spaces. There is a ticket machine in the main parking area and your payment allows you to park either there, on your right after the Aquarium, or on the Lighthouse Quay itself. Please bring coins for parking.
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.
