Between the harbour and the unexplained.
A TOWN SHAPED BY THE SEA
Some places are visited. Others stay with you.
St Orison is a small coastal town shaped by the sea, its history and the generations who have called it home. From the working harbour and narrow streets to the priory ruins watching from the ridge, there is always another story waiting just beyond the familiar.

The Lighthouse
A Light to Come Home To
Standing at the harbour entrance, St Orison’s lighthouse has guided boats home for generations. Inside, 114 steps climb to the lantern room, with views across the harbour, Horseshoe Bay and the open sea. From the water, it remains one of the town’s most familiar landmarks — a light to come home to.
