Mousehole Beach is a beach in Cornwall, England.

The picturesque west Cornwall fishing village is famed for its charm, once described by the poet Dylan Thomas as the loveliest village in England. The village’s name fittingly comes from the harbour entrance, home to a stunning little beach. Surprisingly sandy, Mousehole beach is divided into two sections at high tide. On one side lies the slightly larger stretch, facing towards the village; the other occupies the other side of the harbour. Both offering delightful views, Mousehole beach is surprisingly tranquil – a rarity in a such a lively village. Though keep in mind parking tends to get filled up quickly.
