Love St Agnes in Cornwall because..
Not too touristy
Few good restaurants
Fab cove/beach
Beach bar Schooners
5 star bakery

BUT I fancy a change...where else in Cornwall or may be Devon is just like St Agnes?

Yep Fowey too steep, no beach only a couple of pubs, and nothing to do

Have you been, because I don't recognise your description. There is a gorgeous beach, Readymoney Cove which is admittedly not as large as St Agnes. I spent the day there on Friday! It has at least 4 pubs, loads of restaurants and shops. You can hire boats, go on a sea safari, get a boat to Mevagissey, it's on the coastal path and has a castle. I can't think of what else there is 'to do' in St Agnes that isn't in Fowey.

Obviously if you don't want to go there it's up to you but you are misrepresenting it a bit! It is only steep if you park at the top car park. There are two car parks that are a flat walk to town.

I like walking up from Readymoney, past St Catherine's Castle to Pridmouth - this is the setting for Rebecca's boathouse .... Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again .....

What are these mysterious things to do in St Agnes that you are desperate to do somewhere else?
