St Buryan has a local shop, community centre, public house and post office providing for day to day needs whilst the large town of Penzance is about 10 minutes drive away. Penzance is known as the capital of west Cornwall and has a full selection of local and national retailers amongst its historic streets. There are a full range of professional, sporting and schooling facilities in the town, including the private Bolitho School and a hospital. Penzance is a port town with its harbour opening into Mounts Bay with excellent sailing set to the backdrop of St Michael’s Mount. Penzance also has a mainline railway station with direct trains to London Paddington.

St Buryan is situated within easy reach of several picturesque villages including Sennen, Newlyn and Mousehole (famous for its Christmas lights) plus the potters’ haven of Lamorna.
