Mounts Bay is a beautiful and vital part of Cornwall. It’s home to thriving communities, historic harbours, popular beaches, and important natural habitats. However, the coastline faces growing challenges from the sea. Without action, many of the things we value here could be lost. Lots of the defences in Mounts Bay are ageing and in poor condition. Some are patched up after storms, but this “do minimum” approach is unsustainable and not cost-effective. Rising sea levels and more extreme weather will also put existing defences under increasing pressure. This will put homes, businesses, roads, and railways at risk. The graphic below shows some of the risks to Mounts Bay without action:

Map showing likely impacts in Mounts Bay including: erosion or loss of harbours, property, open space, community facilities and heritage sites; regular flooding of homes, businesses, railway line and coastal roads.


Cornwall Council and the Environment Agency have developed a joint strategy to manage flooding and coastal erosion risks in Mounts Bay, now and into the future. The Mounts Bay Strategy has three key aims:

  • Provide a long term structure for flood and coastal erosion risk management. This approach means we can prioritise the most urgent projects. It also means we can be confident completing these projects won't negatively affect other areas of the bay.
  • Inform and guide other initiatives in the area to develop in a sustainable manner, considering risk management plans.

  • Ensure coordinated investment across the bay. Identify potential synergies between organisations and opportunities to work together.


What is the Mounts Bay Coastal Resilience Strategy?

The Mounts Bay Coastal Resilience Strategy brings together lots of studies completed in the area over the last 10 years. It analyses all available management options to find a preferred approach for the future. This approach gives an overall plan for the whole bay. We can implement individual projects based on this overall plan, which focuses on controlled adaptation with sandscaping. This would include:

  • Maintain existing defences around the harbours and Mousehole coast road
  • Implement sandscaping around Eastern Green and Longrock
  • Build control structures to protect Penzance promenade
  • Controlled setback of defences in western Marazion and Tolcarne, gradually moving the defence inland in a managed way
  • Incorporate nature based solutions where possible. Examples include around the Lariggan Valley and Foster Bolitho Gardens. We can also green existing structures.

You can find out more about what the preferred option would mean for your area in our Mounts Bay Strategy summary document.

Want to find out more?

We hosted a Facebook live event about the strategy on the 23rd March. At this event, Julie Skentelbery put questions to a panel made up of Cornwall Council, the Environment Agency, technical experts and local representatives. The discussion gave more information and answered your questions about the strategy. You can watch the recording here. If you have further questions, you can submit them at the bottom of this page.

We would like your feedback

We would welcome feedback from residents and businesses in the area. To provide your feedback, please complete the survey below by 10 May 2026.

The survey includes questions about:

  1. Your awareness of flood and coastal risks in Mounts Bay
  2. Your support for the preferred option
  3. Any concerns or objections to the preferred option

Before you start the survey:

Please take some time to read the summary document, which outlines in more detail what the strategy recommends for each area of the bay. We also have FAQs that may help answer your questions.

Next Steps

All your feedback will be taken into consideration in the development of the final strategy document. The strategy will then be adopted by partner organisations.

    JulianS asked about 1 month ago

    The Sustainable Penzance Re-Wilding project is led by the Sustainable Penzance community group, not Cornwall Council. We would recommend you visit the Sustainable Penzance website to find out more about their objectives. Projects that increase the capacity of nature to store water during high rainfall events would align with the approach proposed in the Mounts Bay strategy to renaturalise the Lariggan valley, increasing its capacity for flood storage.

    What are the plans for coastal erosion between Marazion and Perranuthnoe ?

    Richards asked about 1 month ago

    The area between Marazion and Perranuthnoe is covered by Shoreline Management Plan policies 18.1, 18.4, 19.1 and 19.2. These areas all have a ‘no active intervention’ policy, meaning that we need to let the coastline evolve naturally, encouraging a more natural coastline. We need to work with communities to ensure this transition happens in a managed way. Marazion is also a Making Space for Sand site, you can find out lots about hte project's work on Marazion's beaches on the Making Space for Sand website. 

  • Share The strategy does not appear to include protecting and reseeding the dunes between Marazion and Long Rock? Drift of sand along the shoreline alone will not allow the dunes to recover - thousands of people walking on them every years destroys the grass that anchors the sand and that would prevent the sand/dunes being swept away in winter storms. Closing them to public access for a period (years not months) and replanting marram grass and similar will allow the dunes to recover and capture the sand deposited at Long Rock as part of the proposed strategy. on Facebook Share The strategy does not appear to include protecting and reseeding the dunes between Marazion and Long Rock?

    Ralph J asked about 1 month ago

    Encouraging sand dunes is a key objective of the Making Space for Sand project, which has 40 sites across Cornwall, including Marazion. The project has completed lots of research into the dunes at Marazion. You can find information about this work and the Beach Dune Management Plan for Marazion on the Making Space for Sand website. In managing our coastal habitats, it is important we find a balance between recreational use, nature and flood and coastal risk management. Closing the dunes for years may not be the most effective way to balance these competing drivers.

    The aim of sandscaping is also to extend the beach width and recover beach levels, which requires adding sediment. You can see examples of where this has been done elsewhere in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole and the Zand motor in the Netherlands (although please note the Zand motor is on a much greater scale than what is being proposed in Mounts Bay).
