described it as being "just far enough from Newquay (4 miles) to avoid the crowds and summer excesses, yet benefit from the same golden sands and beautiful coastline".

They added: "The beach here is sheltered by high cliffs to each side and at low tide there is ample sand for everyone, even on the busiest of days."

More recently, Aquaman star Jason Momoa has been spotted eyeing up a property in the town, while fellow actor Jamie Dornan and Coldplay front man Chris Martin also have homes in the area.

Plenty of dining options in and around the area have glittering reviews on TripAdvisor, with the Ship Inn, the New Yard Restaurant and Fat Apples Cafe all scoring 4.5/5 or above.

Aquaman could also soon be spotted taking up surfing at one of the many surf schools in the town, or playing golf at the local pitch and putt course, built on top of an iron age fort.

Crazy golf, fishing, go-kart racing, bowling and a candle factory are among a number of other activities that can be enjoyed in Mawgan Porth.

The area is also hugely popular with walkers and hikers too, with the South West Coastal Path passing right through.

Some of the coastline was even created by a giant exploring the area, so the legend goes.

The explains: "From here you can walk northwards towards Padstow, passing en route the starkly beautiful and legendary Bedruthan Steps, supposedly created by the giant Bedruthan walking the coastline.

"You can, at low tide, go down the many steps (not those of the giant though) to this long and sandy beach to walk or explore the caves.
