North jetty of snecked serpentine rubble with granite dressings and with granite setts to top surface. The 2 jetties project from cliffs and change direction at obtuse angles to enclose a small harbour that dries out at low tide. On the inside of the north jetty are integral stone steps and over the outer seaward side a shelter wall, probably later, with a raised walkway on its inner side. The south jetty is linked to a causeway at its landward end by 2 later bridges supported on steel joists. Railings are modern. Mullion Cove was especially important for pilchard fishing,later superceded in the C19 by crab and lobster fishing. The harbour has remained largely unaltered.
