This is also true for the self catering cottage properties in St Mawes. St Mawes still has a working fishing fleet, albeit a bit smaller than years ago, that consists of about a dozen operators and who now have a wet fish shop open on the St Mawes harbour Quay. This is something that should be greatly appreciated, as currently the nearest fish shop is either in Falmouth or Truro, the County town of Cornwall.

An increase in leisure boat ownership in St Mawes and Cornwall over the recent years, has led to a waiting list for moorings as there is only a finite number available. There are no plans to increase this number which from a conservation standpoint can only be a good thing.
