South East Cornwall Beaches

 Beach Guide

The main beach at East Looe is one of the most popular in the area, and rightly so, but there are plenty of other beaches to be discovered.  Below is a short list of local favourites……

East Looe: Family friendly sandy beach, all services nearby.

Hannafore, West Looe: Great for rock pooling, free parking on road above, facilities nearby.

Lantic Bay: (as pictured above) National Trust owned beach, reached by 20 min walk from car park along and down coast path. Swimmers should be aware of strong currents and shelving.

Lansallos: Secluded cove at the end of an old smugglers path.

Seaton: Large sand and shingle beach to the east of Looe. Parking  behind beach. All facilities.

Talland Bay: Between Looe and Polperro, mix of rock pools and sand, cafes and parking.

Whitsand Bay: Long sandy beaches at bottom of sloping cliffs in the east of the area. Best place for surfing in area but rip currents can make it dangerous for swimming. Life Guards stationed at Freathy during summer season.
