3. Looe to Polperro walk
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 968 reviews
A 5.4 mile moderate coastal walk along the South West Coast Path taking in a holy legend, a 6th century monastery, an 18th century eccentric and a 19th century engineer. There are rockpools on the beaches, remnants of shipwrecks, tales of smugglers, and the walk ends with a stroll up through the picturesque fishing village of Polperro to Crumplehorn, where you can catch a bus back to Looe.

We caught the bus from our b&b in Looe in Polperro which is a lovely little harbour town in itself and well worth a wonder around. In the grand scheme of cliff walks, this one is fairly easy and around 6 miles. It’s a little craggy out of Polperro and you are very close to the cliff edge in places, but nothing you can’t handle with the right footwear. There’s a nice stop off at Talland Bay for refreshments just under half way. You also walk through a lovely nature reserve and we had the robins singing to us all of the way through! The views are spectacular as you’d expect. Highly recommended.
4. East Looe Beach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 358 reviews
The beach in East Looe sits directly in front of the old town, sheltered from the west by the famous Banjo Pier and overlooked from the east by the hillside of Mount Ararat. Owned and maintained by East Looe Town Trust, East Looe beach is a good family beach that has something for everyone. At low tide there is a large gently sloping sandy beach which is generally safe for swimming, although it is always recommended to check the weather and water quality conditions. The beach backs on to the promenade that runs the length of the beach all the way to ‘Second Beach’ just to the east. The rock / sand beach here is a great spot to get away from the crowds and good for snorkelling. The main beach is closed to dogs however you are welcome to allow your dogs to enjoy the Second Beach. The promenade itself has plenty of benches to sit and relax on, and beautiful flowerbeds that are maintained by Looe in Bloom all year round. On our promenade you will also find a free water refill station.

Not been here for over 40 years, place brought back many happy memories of family seaside holidays. For the initiated, Looe is split into West & East, with the main town and beach area being in East Looe, and the town divided by the River Looe. Parking is at a premium in the town ,close to the beach, so bit of a walk from the car parks near the bridge which joins the 2 parts. The beach itself is quite flat, clean and a lovely place to spend a sunny day, but does get busy. Pleasant boat trips from the adjoining quayside go out to Looe Island, some way offshore, and although we didn't do it, I gather there is an excellent coastal walk between Looe and nearby Polperro, taking in Talland Bay. Well worth a visit

Really good pub, serving some fantastic beers. I didn’t eat, but looking at the menu the prices looked reasonable. Staff were very knowledgable on the beers. Pub was also very organised with track and trace with customers having to wait at a rope by the door before being shown to a table. Table service reasonably good depending on how busy the pub is. Will definitely be making a return visit.
