No parking on the island itself - parking is at paid car parks in Marazion on the mainland (St Michael's Mount Visitor & Long Stay car park, plus short-stay). Public footpath from the car park along the seafront to the causeway (approx 10-min walk, crossing soft sand). 20 disabled bays in the main car park; Blue Badge holders and National Trust members also pay.
Only facilities we’ve confirmed are listed — anything missing here we simply haven’t checked, rather than know to be absent.
A tidal island off the Cornish coast with a historic castle, terraced subtropical gardens, and a working village. You reach it on foot across an ancient cobbled causeway at low tide, or by ferry boat at high tide. Explore the castle's ramparts, wander cobbled streets past shops and harbourside buildings, visit the Steward's House Art Gallery (home to works by Newlyn School artists), and enjoy afternoon tea with complimentary garden admission. A café and restaurant are on the island.
Summer season 1 May - 11 Sep 2026 (garden closes 4 Sep); dogs welcome on the island 14 Sep - 30 Apr (excluding Easter), assistance dogs always; boating and Afternoon Tea until 31 Oct 2026.
