History
- The harbour is built on the site of a medieval quay.
- The village was formed by the union of two earlier settlements, Lamarik and Pthilly. In the 6th century, Irish and Breton missionaries Saint Mevan and Saint Issey arrived, and the settlements were eventually unified and renamed Mevanhang Yissi to honour them.
- The area was inhabited long before the current village, with evidence of Bronze Age settlements and a Roman fort called Kolina.
- After the Norman invasion, the Domesday Survey of 1086-88 recorded Mevagissey as being split into four manors. During this period, the first stone harbour was built, and strong trade links with mainland Europe were established.

"Harbourside Cottage was the perfect place for our family holiday. Perfectly located to enjoy Charlestown and a great base for exploring Cornwall. The cottage itself had everything we needed and when we had questions our host was super responsive. Would highly recommend."
