This is a small sand and shingle beach located a small hike from Looe. The bay is sheltered with a relaxed tide so its great for a sunny summer day with family.

Great spot on the South West Coast Path as it runs over the headland for taking in the views over Looe Bay.

A tucked away, sandy beach on Cornwall's south coast. The cottages higher on the cliff are a legacy of the area's history in the Pilchard fishing industry. There are a few different bays along this stretch of coast, so you'll be sure to find a spot for yourself.
