Marazion (; ) is a town and civil parish on the shore of Mount's Bay in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is east of Penzance, and the tidal island of St Michael's Mount is half-a-mile offshore. At low water a causeway links it to the town and at high water passenger boats carry visitors between Marazion and St Michael's Mount. Marazion is a tourist resort with an active community of artists who produce and sell paintings and pottery in the town's art galleries.
