The village is about two miles from the Helford estuary, this offers scope for sailing, watching the wildlife of the area, and lovely riverside and country walks.

From Mawnan Smith a lane leads to the tiny hamlet of Mawnan, where there is a 13th century church with a spire that has provided centuries of sailors with a coastal landmark.
