Lying in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Talland Bay sits on the unspoilt coastline between Looe and Polperro. There are two small sheltered beaches here: Talland Sand to the west and Rotterdam Beach to the east. Just a few hundred yards from one another, they are both excellent spots for swimming and fishing, and at low tide are particularly good for rock-pooling. If you fancy being a little more adventurous you can take to the water in a kayak, which can be hired from the Talland Bay Beach Café.
The South West Coast Path runs right through Talland Bay, so there are plenty of opportunities to explore the spectacular scenery. It’s just 1.5 miles along the coast path to the quaint fishing village of Polperro, which is pedestrianised, so is best accessed on foot anyway. If you want to travel a little further afield, how about a day out at the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan or simply spend time relaxing on one of the bigger nearby beaches such as Seaton, Downderry or Lansallos.
Talland Bay is small but classically Cornish with its own long history of smuggling and shipwrecks. You also might notice the two large towers on the eastern side of the bay. These are “measured mile markers” used by ships to calculate their speed. If you walk the coast path to Looe you’ll find two more on the hillside above Hannahfore. Along the way keep your eye out for the array of wildlife, from skylarks hovering and buzzards soaring in the skies overhead to butterflies visiting the wildflowers which surround the cliff paths.
Talland Bay is a great base from which to get out and explore the rest of Cornwall, but if you’re in need of some quality relaxation time, the local beach is the perfect place to enjoy a few lazy days unwinding in a naturally beautiful setting.
Designated parking for one car very close to property. Additional parking on site subject to availability.

Talland Bay Hotel Restaurant, Porthallow, Cornwall, PL13 2JB (T: 01503 272667)
We visited the Talland Bay Hotel for drinks and then Sunday lunch. It was first class. A classy restaurant with amazing views out to sea, beautiful gardens with quirky characters and art decorating both inside the hotel and in the gardens. The staff were so accommodating and the food was lovely. The truffle Parmesan fries were amazing. 100% would recommend.
September 2023
Had an exceptional Sunday lunch here. The bar staff were friendly and helpful as were the restaurant staff and the food was excellent both flavour wise and the amounts
July 2023
What a find! Our holiday 'home' was just down the road. The Hotel fitted us in for our Wedding Anniversary supper (we hadn't booked). They seated us by the window and put rose petals on the tablecloth, with a card and chocolates. They made the occasion very special, with such wonderful food and service.
June 2023
At least we tried to dine here on a couple of occasions but were unsuccessful in our attempt to book a table even though we tried to do so months ahead.
October 2021
Well known to us and it never fails to disappoint, they really put themselves out on the day for a 101 year old, excellent
November 2019
An eclectic choice of decor (looks like items from a skip). Saw TV's Richard and Judy. Very expensive but tasty food.
May 2019
Popped in for lunch. Great selection and food was lovely.

A friendly licensed café situated on the coast path from Looe to Polperro, with spectacular views across Talland Bay. Serving a delicious selection of homemade hot and cold food, cream teas in a stunning location. Open seasonally.
Smugglers Rest, Talland Bay, Looe PL13 2JA (T: 01503 272259)
Great coffee (local roasterie apparently) and food, all with that view. We were too early in season for BBQ but I bet they are great too.
June 2023
Called in for a drink on our Polperro to Looe walk . It is a lovely spot looking down to the sea and very friendly staff. We have called in there before on other visits rather than cafe on beach.
May 2023
Fortunately we visited out of season as there was only a limited amount of seating and the service was somewhat slow. But there was plenty of space to park the car in the field below. It struck me as more of a beach cafe than a pub so was a bit of a disappointment but it served its purpose.
October 2021
We loved it here on route to bay and coastal walk to Polperro. Great choice of food and drinks. Very friendly staff. Lovely bite of Talland Bay.

As beach cafes go it would be difficult to find better ! Everything was very well organised and clean, and it was in a perfect position next to the beach. The only thing lacking in our English inclement weather was indoor seating or at least more covered outdoor seating to give protection from rain.
October 2021
Good location right next to bay- parking a bit limited though

Really lovely owners and delicious coffee. Very cute beach it style outdoor seating.
October 2020
An absolute diamond of a stopping off point on our coastal walk from Polperro to Looe! Yes, it's popularity means that cars are parked all over, but the quaint outdoor eating shelters, excellent service and welcoming menu made it a stop-over to remember! Even at high-tide, the children found enough distractions among the rock pools in front of the premises!
August 2020
Lovely views of the beach, can sit in the charming beach huts and enjoy lunch even if it is raining. Very friendly staff and excellent food and mugs of tea. Brie and cranberry sandwiches highly recommended! Café and car park well maintained, clean and tidy. We visited in September so not busy or crowded.

Went twice -Good food, however staff could be friendlier, one waitress just plonked the tray on our table without any eye contact , smile or words , - and didn’t seem bothered us having to leave the first time due to us having no cash on us , so make sure you have cash available as cards only excepted if you spend £15 , very annoying , The best bit is the fabulous location overlooking the harbour

We have just returned from Waters Edge after two weeks of beautiful sunshine. The cottage was beautifully clean,well appointed and equipped. I believe the position was the envy of all who walked passed. I could not find a pen to write in the visitors book so would you please pass on our thanks and compliments to the owner and to her cleaner who came to collect the rubbish and delivery clean bedding on the dot of 10am, as arranged.

Unfriendly welcome from waitress. Waited too.long so went next door to the three pilchards.
September 2023
Unpleasant welcome from waitress, dumped in an empty upstairs room with far too many tables far too close together. Left twiddling our thumbs so got up and went to the Three Pilchards just down the way which is excellent (and friendly)

As fabulous as ever!

Great pub for atmosphere
June 2022
There is always a lovely welcome at The Blue Peter
June 2022
Ordered a seafood platter as wanted to try the locally sourced fish. I love all fish, but this was Truly awful. Couldn't taste the fish for the garlic over everything. The breadcrumb was so lightly fried, it was soggy. When the waitress came over and noticed the almost untouched meal, she asked if I enjoyed it. I said I didnt and told her why. She said 'I will pass on your feedback and left, no 'sorry about that's , nothing. Tried a seafood platter in another pub and it was amazing. Very disappointed in the Blue Peter.
June 2022
As always a warm welcome and great atmosphere. It has all its old charm
May 2022

Very friendly staff and delicious hake meal?
December 2021
Absolutely fantastic , food was incredible, staff couldn’t do enough for you , it’s such a difficult place to find an evening table as you cannot pre book a table , but staff were happy to take a telephone no and call you as soon as a table became available, and that’s every night , even in October !! Having eaten their I now understand why they are inundated with bookings . Even with food allergies they went above and beyond to help , advise and swap for different ingredients, fabulous.
November 2021
Food was excellent, tried different dishes. Service was just right Staff were very friendly, and were always quick to respond to any request Very enjoyable visit and the pug has a good atmosphere
October 2021
A lovely quirky pub with lots of indoor seating on various levels for great food and good selection of drinks. Well worth a visit or two!
September 2021
Lovely quirky pub with harbour wall seating. We didn’t eat here but found drinks ambience and service great.
September 2021
Unfortunately not for us. After our first visit we never went back. When an establishment has other scrumptious eateries/restaurants within a few meters it really needs to up its game in the food department.
September 2021
Fantastic food, atmosphere and service. Lovely pub!
August 2021
Very lazy unhelpful staff. Asked to sit on a vacant table outside for either a drink or food at 8.20pm and was told they needed to close the tables down so we could not. I asked what time they closed outside tables and was told 9pm. They offered no alternative and were not at all interested in us but more interested in talking between themselves and closing early. I felt as though I was interrupting them.
July 2021
Always on our list places to eat. Fish & chip wrap is a must to try
July 2021
Only popped in for a drink, very typical quaint old fishing village pub, made to feel very welcome by lovely staff and would definitely visit again.

February 2020
Great food, super friendly, good selection of gin, poor selection of wine.
December 2019
We ate here 3 times in the week we were in Polperro. Very pleasant staff, child-friendly and most importantly beautiful food. The crab on ciabatta is the stand out dish, try it with a glass of local scrumpy, but it's all delicious. I've no idea how they achieve what they do in that teeny tiny kitchen!

June 2018
Our favourite pub in the whole of Cornwall, we frequent it most nights on our weeks holiday each year and eat there at least twice a week and have never had a bad meal. The only problem with the Blue Peter it isn't big enough for when there is music on and gets very crowded but apart from that a brilliant pub and the bar staff who have been there a few years are lovely and friendly.
June 2018

Fantastic pub! Great atmosphere, fantastic food and staff. Definitely worth a visit!
February 2018
The best food around. The other restaurants in Polperro do not compete.
July 2017
Superb food, good range of real ale and very friendly staff. We were made to feel very welcome and would highly recommend this place! It is one of the best pubs we've visited in our week in Cornwall. Thank you to Abi and the excellent bar staff.
July 2017
What an amazing pub - great food, warm welcome, perfect setting and if you time it right you get to hear great bands!
July 2017
Enjoyed several meals here food nicely cooked and friendly service.

Polperro Museum
(2 miles)
(15)
In The Warren overlooking the harbour, the Polperro Heritage Museum of Smuggling and Fishing houses a collection of exhibits and 19th century photographs that date back to a time when both smuggling and fishing thrived in Polperro. It brings to life the little village’s beautiful history and the lives of the people who lived there, having depended on fishing for generations and been home to no less than three factories close by at one point. A delightful opportunity for children and adults alike to learn about local history in this little Cornish village, entry is £1.75 for adults and 50p for children.

Really informative and interesting journey of smuggling through the ages

Great attraction full of great local history and artifacts. Well worth a visit.

This is a cracking little museum! It may be small but it is packed with very informative stories and exhibits of the local area and history. Thoroughly recommended!
July 2022
Interesting , good displays , well worth a visit
May 2022
What a lovely setting, small but perfectly formed. We had a lovely cream tea.
September 2021
Really interesting.
September 2021
This is a great little, un-fancy museum with loads of information. It's worth spending time there.
September 2019
Great! And dog friendly!Worth a look and the tea rooms were great.
July 2019
I love a bit of local history and if your like minded, you'll enjoy this place. lots of information on the local boats and fishermen. it would take you a while to read it all.
August 2018
Well worth visiting to get a feel and understanding of how the once thriving community of Polperro used to be in former pilchard fishing (and smuggling) days. The old photos and exhibits transport you back to a very different world (though adults will undoubtedly find the museum more interesting than small children).
May 2018
This museum is packed with interesting facts and some great photos, so even though small we spent a good hour there. Definitely worth a visit to learn more on the local history (including about the more recent floods and storms), fishy facts and smuggling tales!

Polperro Model Village
(2 miles)
(8)
An utterly charming day out for the family, Polperro Model Village and Land of Legend is two attractions in one. The village is, quite literally, the coastal town in miniature and has been around for more than 60 years, surviving both fire and floods – so don’t underestimate the strength of these little guys. Meanwhile, Land of Legend is your chance to explore Cornish folklore, derived from tales of pirates and smugglers who thrived in and around Cornwall from the early modern period through to the 19th century. It is a unique show of lights, sound and animation. The site also houses a model railway, and prices are £3 for adults and £2 for children, open daily from Easter to October.
A lovely attraction for Polperro. Very well thought out and created.
July 2022
Very interesting
July 2022
Lovely little attraction. We were keen to support local businesses so popped in here.
May 2022
Brilliant fun and interesting place to visit
June 2021
This attraction is much more than just a model village. We really loved it.
June 2021
Great value for money. Worth a visit.
September 2020
Disappointed not open
July 2020
Good attraction for young children rather than older children and adults. The miniature village and Land of Legend are charming (though perhaps a little 'worn' by modern standards). There is an interesting audio/visual on the Polperro floods of 1976 and 1993 and a separate small model railway.

Looe Sailing Club
(2 miles)
Talland Bay
(Less than a mile)
(16)
A small, quiet beach between Looe and Polperro, Talland Bay actually comprises two beaches, one of which has sand both at low and high tide and is good for swimming all the time, while the other is less sandy and is easiest to swim from at high tide. There is a ramp for launching boats from the main beach and there are lots of small coves and tidal pools to swim in as well, so it’s a delightful area to explore in the water. Parking is limited, but there is a small, free car park by the beach and paid parking at The Beach Café, all of which provide easy access to the sand. Thanks to the nearby café, visitors can also benefit from the accompanying facilities, on-site shop, and tuck into Roskillys Cornish Ice-Cream as well.
Sit in the graveyard on the bill and look down to Talland bay. Tranquillity so special. I never fail to go there when I am down. The church is beautiful so much history.
October 2023
Having spent many a happy childhood holiday here - 60 years ago, so wonderful to return. It is so beautiful and with addition of 2 Beach cafes - even better now.
June 2023
Beautiful little bay with a great cafe overlooking it. Dogs allowed on the beach Oct to end of May.....
October 2021
Although there was indeed sand in one of the bays it was largely covered with seaweed at the water's edge when we were there. All very natural.
October 2021
Lovely bay, shingle beach
September 2021
Not a great beach and a bit smelly.
August 2021
Unfortunately the seaweed on the beach made it very smelly and also lots of flies. Beautiful apart from that!
June 2021
Lovely walk from polperro along coast. Cafe in picturesque bay pretty with little huts to shelter. Only downside was the coffee not good at all.
May 2021
Beautiful bay. A little smelly from the seaweed but rock pools galore and quiet
October 2020
Very interesting beach with rock pools at low tide and fascinating multi-coloured rocks, great for photography.
October 2019
A lovely place to walk too on the way to Looe. Hard work back up the hill to polperro, bit it's worth it!
October 2018
The coastal walk from Polperro to Talland Bay is outstanding. As both are scenic, (and Talland Bay benefits from an excellent cafe and free toilets), it makes for an excellent morning or afternoon trip in good weather.
May 2018
Lovely beach,beautiful walk from Polperro. Dogs requested to be kept on leads (which I suppose is preferable to a ban!). Families seem to use this beach alot.
May 2018
An interesting beach at low tide and lovely views.
April 2018
Brilliant. Bit seaweedy. Wear beach shoes incase of weever fish stings.
August 2017
Great beach pet friendly beach with rock pools etc for the dogs to explore
June 2017
Polperro Beach
(2 miles)
(22)
In South East Cornwall, Polperro is widely thought to be one of the area’s most picturesque fishing villages. Brimming with whitewashed cottages all the way down the harbour, the beach sits in a sheltered position under the cliffs, only visible at low tide and close to the harbour. Unsurprisingly, it’s a popular destination and can get busy in the summer months. Dogs are not permitted at the beach during peak season, from Easter to October, and while parking in the village itself is all but impossible, but there’s a large car park about a mile up the valley with a regular shuttle service going up and down the hill.
Just beautiful??
November 2023
We have visited The Blue Peter many times on our holidays to Polperro over the past 20 year or more. There is always a warm and friendly welcome from the staff. The food is excellent. This is a proper pub.
July 2023
beautiful little cove -- just watch the tide times ..........
August 2022
We didn't really use the beach but I did see someone allow their dog to foul on the beach and, although they cleared it up to a certain extent, I don't think this is really acceptable when children are going to be playing in the sand.
June 2022
Lovely small beach
June 2022
Fabulous
September 2021
Lovely small beach very clean with beautiful views
July 2021
Great beach.
June 2021
Polperro a beautiful place , a lovely fishing village
May 2021
The most beautiful little cove featuring caves to explore and the 'net loft' out on the rugged rocks. The sea is a divine colour and I can't wait to come back and swim at a warmer time of year! I enjoyed two mornings in the sun and the peace of being out there first thing exploring this little beach area, it was a great start to those days!
May 2021
This Is a glorious, quaint fishing village with narrow winding alleys and a beautiful little harbour.It is more suited to couples rather than families as there are not many facilities for children, other than a small beach at low tide.
September 2020
Perfect . Love love love
August 2020
The children enjoyed exploring the caves and beachcombing when the tide was out, too many dogs off the lead but it was out of season. Main reason for leaving the review is to strongly recommend you take the two hour fishing trip with either Chris or Olly Puckey on the Smuggler. We had the boat to ourselves and had an excellent value for money trip which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Caught 3 mackerel and a pollock which we took back to the cottage and cooked for tea. A delight! Oh, and we went for brunch afterwards at House on the Props - definitely recommended, I've never had a full English on a baguette before, it was awesome!
October 2019
Our favourite place to visit with wonderful little shops, restaurants and art galleries to browse in on the walk down to the quay. Amazing views as you leave the village and head on the coastal cliff path back towards Looe. We took our dog and he enjoyed exploring the numerous rock pools on the beach. We also explored the right hand coastal path and stumbled across a secluded pool amongst the rocks - steep ascent but well worth the hike! People were bathing in the pool as it was a real sun trap..
August 2019
Small but lovely
May 2019
Beautiful beach if you love beach combing.
April 2019
Easy access, dog ok
October 2018
We visited Polperro harbour/beach with our springer spaniel and although the write-up says no dogs allowed, they are allowed, just on a lead between 10am and 6pm, although beach is small, the sea is safe to swim in and not full of huge rocks, lovely ????
August 2018
Lovely clean small beach.
May 2018
Polperro is a magic place. It is so pretty with its winding streets and old cottages and the harbour with its fishing boats. The residents are so friendly and welcoming and there’s a wide choice of restaurants and cafes. I particularly recommend Michelle’s for fantastic food and a real welcome. As a woman on my own I dined there, as elsewhere, with no feeling of awkwardness. Breakfast at the House on the Props just unbeatable! Spring is one of the best times to visit for the wonderful coastal walks and the masses of wild flowers. When you visit, think about the parking situation before you go as it needs organising, but many rentable cottages have spaces provided in the main car park and PauI who runs a little motorised transport system for luggage is very helpful and reliable. I am one of the thousands of people who just love Polperro and every time I visit feel a great reluctance to leave.
May 2018
Enjoyed the harbour etc and all the shops but had dogs so did not visit the beach but a beautiful setting.
June 2017
really lovely, a must visit desination.
May 2017
Looe Beach
(2 miles)
(20)
In East Looe, the beach sits directly in front of the old town, sheltered by the Banjo Pier and overlooked from the east by the hillside of Mount Ararat. A good family beach that has something for everyone, at low tide the sandy location is safe for swimming although it’s recommended you steer clear of the river mouth beyond the pier. Unfortunately dogs aren’t allowed on this beach at any time of the year, but Hannafore beach in West Looe is dog friendly. The beach backs on to a seafront walkway which runs its length all the way to Second Beach to the east, where it tends to be less busy and it’s good for snorkeling. As it’s in the centre of the town there are lots of facilities and cafes nearby, but in the summer it’s a very popular spot and parking can be tricky, with traffic prohibited during these months, so be prepared for a bit of a walk.
Some days quite busy but great facilities and loads of activities
August 2023
Great, despite the early season seaweed, the tractor cleared it very well.
April 2023
LOVE LOVE LOVE
July 2022
All of the beaches around Looe are worth visiting - and the coastal path is a must. Fuel for the hike? Not listed in the reviews is Sarah’s Pasties which has the best pasties (we ate a lot of pasties during the week!). They were also one of the few eateries in the area which could provide something for someone needing a gluten and dairy free diet. We were able to preorder pasties that met her dietary requirements.
February 2022
Wonderful beach
December 2021
Safe and sandy beach perfect for kids
August 2021
I enjoyed the beach as it is very flat, which is important at 70, and I even had a paddle. The beach was very clean.
July 2021
One of the best beaches I have visited. It is nice and level and I was even able to have a paddle. It was very clean.
July 2021
Great beach so close all amenities
July 2021
Such a lovely beach. A shame people didn’t socially distance or even attempt to do so.
August 2020
Spent a week at new year in this beautiful apartment. Everything you could possibly need was in there. Lovely comfy bed,spotless clean and the bonus of a sea view. Central for everything. Will definitely return.
January 2020
Wonderful clean beach
October 2019
Perfect for the children but beware of seagulls. We always take a beach tent so children can safely enjoy their food and ice cream!
June 2019
Lovely beach suitable for everyone
June 2019
A wonderful place to sit relax eat an ICECREAM or a pastie, if the seagulls will let you! Perfect beach x
August 2018
You cannot fail to love Looe beach, early morning, during the day or for and evening stroll. A super clean beach.
May 2018
Lovely sandy beach. No dogs allowed but there is a small cove at the far end which allows dogs to enjoy their holiday too with a dip in The English Channel.
May 2018
Looe beach and seafront is cleaned every day (in season?) and looks good. A joy to sit and watch the sea and people passing by.
April 2018
Really good! Good sand and sea. Activities for the kids too. Difficult to get to cos no parking nearby.
August 2017
Lovely beach and even when it was busy didn't feel overcrowded
August 2017
Hannafore Beach
(3 miles)
(9)
Half a mile west of Looe, stretching along the coast, Hannafore Beach is a sandy, shingle bay with a rocky reef and views of St George’s Island. At low tide it’s brimming with rock pools, making it fun and games for the whole family to enjoy, and it’s a wonderful sun trap in summer months thanks to its south east facing position. Because of its location over the river, the beach never really becomes too busy, but equally there aren’t any facilities nearby. It’s popular with dog walkers as it’s amongst the few dog-friendly beaches in the area, and having explored you can extend your excursion to a stroll along the promenade or a potter around the coast path to the wonderfully scenic Talland Bay. There is roadside parking along the sea front above the beach, but it can be difficult to find a space. Alternatively, there is a large car park in West Looe, around 10 minutes away on foot.
Splendid views and dog accessible
July 2022
The best place to unwind
August 2020
Great for rock pooling
August 2020
Great fun had by our dog 'Moses'
August 2019
Lovely for the dogs!
August 2018
Really nice beach and walk
June 2018
An interesting beach, but beware the incoming tide !
April 2018
Great beach. Good view of looe island. Loads of shells to collect. Lots of dog walkers tho!
August 2017
One of the many dog friendly beaches we visited lovely coastal walks to Talland Bay the nature reserve island is very interesting great refreshments available and not forgetting the free parking available all day which is very useful.
June 2017
Plaidy Beach
(3 miles)
(1)
A small and pleasant grey sand beach with rocks exposed at low tide, Plaidy Beach is simply a nice place to visit and take in the scenery. There aren’t any facilities, and there’s no parking nearby so it’s one to reach on foot. There’s a slipway to the beach, but you will have to access it by walking along the coast path, parking at Millendreath or Looe and it’s worth keeping in mind that it’s quite steep from both directions. Millendreath is closer and the walk should take around 20 minutes. Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round, so it’s a charming place to take them for a walk while you’re in the area.
Great to walk to at low tide on the beach or at high tide via the footpath. Great dog friendly beach.
August 2018
September 2023
Awesome!
August 2023
toad hall email received prior to my holiday stated i needed to leave the property by 9am and enter at 5pm. These times are unacceptable after covid and needs to be more convenient. Another point on the the bay talland website the leaving time was 10am so why was i made to leave an hour earlier by not booking direct with the site?
August 2022
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were friendly, very accommodating and even though our property wasn’t ready at 5pm they were very apologetic and let us use the facilities to keep the kids entertained. They accommodation was amazing, the pictures on the website honestly don’t do it justice. We really hope to be back next year.
September 2019
Great site, but a little lacking on local facilities locally.

Talland Bay Hotel Restaurant
(Less than a mile)

Fine dining restaurant in a stunning coastal setting, offering a range of beautifully cooked fresh cuisine to tempt your palate. Menus packed with firm favourites and adventurous new twists.
Talland Bay Hotel Restaurant, Porthallow, Cornwall, PL13 2JB (T: 01503 272667)
We visited the Talland Bay Hotel for drinks and then Sunday lunch. It was first class. A classy restaurant with amazing views out to sea, beautiful gardens with quirky characters and art decorating both inside the hotel and in the gardens. The staff were so accommodating and the food was lovely. The truffle Parmesan fries were amazing. 100% would recommend.
September 2023
Had an exceptional Sunday lunch here. The bar staff were friendly and helpful as were the restaurant staff and the food was excellent both flavour wise and the amounts
July 2023
What a find! Our holiday 'home' was just down the road. The Hotel fitted us in for our Wedding Anniversary supper (we hadn't booked). They seated us by the window and put rose petals on the tablecloth, with a card and chocolates. They made the occasion very special, with such wonderful food and service.
June 2023
At least we tried to dine here on a couple of occasions but were unsuccessful in our attempt to book a table even though we tried to do so months ahead.
October 2021
Well known to us and it never fails to disappoint, they really put themselves out on the day for a 101 year old, excellent
November 2019
An eclectic choice of decor (looks like items from a skip). Saw TV's Richard and Judy. Very expensive but tasty food.

Smugglers Rest, Talland Bay, Looe PL13 2JA (T: 01503 272259)
Great coffee (local roasterie apparently) and food, all with that view. We were too early in season for BBQ but I bet they are great too.
June 2023
Called in for a drink on our Polperro to Looe walk . It is a lovely spot looking down to the sea and very friendly staff. We have called in there before on other visits rather than cafe on beach.
May 2023
Fortunately we visited out of season as there was only a limited amount of seating and the service was somewhat slow. But there was plenty of space to park the car in the field below. It struck me as more of a beach cafe than a pub so was a bit of a disappointment but it served its purpose.
October 2021
We loved it here on route to bay and coastal walk to Polperro. Great choice of food and drinks. Very friendly staff. Lovely bite of Talland Bay.

Gorgeous little beach cafe in a spectacular setting.
October 2021
As beach cafes go it would be difficult to find better ! Everything was very well organised and clean, and it was in a perfect position next to the beach. The only thing lacking in our English inclement weather was indoor seating or at least more covered outdoor seating to give protection from rain.
October 2021
Good location right next to bay- parking a bit limited though
September 2021
Clean,friendly, good food and licensed. Beautiful location. A definite place to relax and unwind.
May 2021
Really lovely owners and delicious coffee. Very cute beach it style outdoor seating.
October 2020
An absolute diamond of a stopping off point on our coastal walk from Polperro to Looe! Yes, it's popularity means that cars are parked all over, but the quaint outdoor eating shelters, excellent service and welcoming menu made it a stop-over to remember! Even at high-tide, the children found enough distractions among the rock pools in front of the premises!
August 2020
Lovely views of the beach, can sit in the charming beach huts and enjoy lunch even if it is raining. Very friendly staff and excellent food and mugs of tea. Brie and cranberry sandwiches highly recommended! Café and car park well maintained, clean and tidy. We visited in September so not busy or crowded.
October 2019
We hired kayaks here and had a great hour on the water, followed by hot chocolate in the cafe.

Went twice -Good food, however staff could be friendlier, one waitress just plonked the tray on our table without any eye contact , smile or words , - and didn’t seem bothered us having to leave the first time due to us having no cash on us , so make sure you have cash available as cards only excepted if you spend £15 , very annoying , The best bit is the fabulous location overlooking the harbour

A cosy tearoom that serves delicious sandwiches and a lovely cream tea. Definitely worth a visit!

We have just returned from Waters Edge after two weeks of beautiful sunshine. The cottage was beautifully clean,well appointed and equipped. I believe the position was the envy of all who walked passed. I could not find a pen to write in the visitors book so would you please pass on our thanks and compliments to the owner and to her cleaner who came to collect the rubbish and delivery clean bedding on the dot of 10am, as arranged.
July 2017
Lovely coffee, and amazing location. A smile from the staff wouldn't have gone a miss though!

Fish and chips are legendary.
October 2023
We ate here twice because the food is absolutely gorgeous. I had the Crab Linguine twice; delicious! We've booked to stay in Polperro again in 2024 so we will be eating here again that's for sure. A good selection of Rum and Ales.
September 2023
Really well cooked quality food amidst a lovely old world pub atmosphere and friendly staff. Good value for money for the quality of the ingredients.
September 2023
Unfriendly welcome from waitress. Waited too.long so went next door to the three pilchards.
September 2023
Unpleasant welcome from waitress, dumped in an empty upstairs room with far too many tables far too close together. Left twiddling our thumbs so got up and went to the Three Pilchards just down the way which is excellent (and friendly)
September 2023
As fabulous as ever!

May 2023
Great pub and atmosphere Beer really expensive

We only called into the Blue Peter Inn for a drink but were extended a very warm welcome and the pub had a lovely atmosphere and quaint, unspoiled feel to it. There was additional seating upstairs for dining if we hadn't run out of time!
March 2023
Wonderful atmosphere, beer and food. Very dog friendly. Loved it here

Great pub for atmosphere
June 2022
There is always a lovely welcome at The Blue Peter
June 2022
Ordered a seafood platter as wanted to try the locally sourced fish. I love all fish, but this was Truly awful. Couldn't taste the fish for the garlic over everything. The breadcrumb was so lightly fried, it was soggy. When the waitress came over and noticed the almost untouched meal, she asked if I enjoyed it. I said I didnt and told her why. She said 'I will pass on your feedback and left, no 'sorry about that's , nothing. Tried a seafood platter in another pub and it was amazing. Very disappointed in the Blue Peter.
June 2022
As always a warm welcome and great atmosphere. It has all its old charm
May 2022
Quaint and quirky pub,very popular with locals,but very small,they try to pack too many in,good food though

February 2022
Very friendly staff and delicious hake meal?
December 2021
Absolutely fantastic , food was incredible, staff couldn’t do enough for you , it’s such a difficult place to find an evening table as you cannot pre book a table , but staff were happy to take a telephone no and call you as soon as a table became available, and that’s every night , even in October !! Having eaten their I now understand why they are inundated with bookings . Even with food allergies they went above and beyond to help , advise and swap for different ingredients, fabulous.
November 2021
Food was excellent, tried different dishes. Service was just right Staff were very friendly, and were always quick to respond to any request Very enjoyable visit and the pug has a good atmosphere
October 2021
A lovely quirky pub with lots of indoor seating on various levels for great food and good selection of drinks. Well worth a visit or two!
September 2021
Lovely quirky pub with harbour wall seating. We didn’t eat here but found drinks ambience and service great.
September 2021
Unfortunately not for us. After our first visit we never went back. When an establishment has other scrumptious eateries/restaurants within a few meters it really needs to up its game in the food department.
September 2021
Fantastic food, atmosphere and service. Lovely pub!
August 2021
Very lazy unhelpful staff. Asked to sit on a vacant table outside for either a drink or food at 8.20pm and was told they needed to close the tables down so we could not. I asked what time they closed outside tables and was told 9pm. They offered no alternative and were not at all interested in us but more interested in talking between themselves and closing early. I felt as though I was interrupting them.
July 2021
Always on our list places to eat. Fish & chip wrap is a must to try
July 2021
Only popped in for a drink, very typical quaint old fishing village pub, made to feel very welcome by lovely staff and would definitely visit again.
July 2021
Ate once at this pub. Inside, upstairs. Nice room looking out over harbour.

We visited Polperro not quite out of lockdown so we were unable to go in but we got take away fish and chips twice and they were delicious! Possibly the best I've had! Nice local IPA too and friendly staff. Great location on the harbour. Really lovely.

this place is a true gem. Amazing food created in such a small kitchen!! This place is our favourite when we go to Polperro. Friendly staff and a real local feel .
February 2020
Great food, super friendly, good selection of gin, poor selection of wine.
December 2019
We ate here 3 times in the week we were in Polperro. Very pleasant staff, child-friendly and most importantly beautiful food. The crab on ciabatta is the stand out dish, try it with a glass of local scrumpy, but it's all delicious. I've no idea how they achieve what they do in that teeny tiny kitchen!
October 2019
Really great atmosphere, lively, friendly, great food and dogs made welcome

June 2018
Superb food, friendly staff, best pub I know
June 2018
Our favourite pub in the whole of Cornwall, we frequent it most nights on our weeks holiday each year and eat there at least twice a week and have never had a bad meal. The only problem with the Blue Peter it isn't big enough for when there is music on and gets very crowded but apart from that a brilliant pub and the bar staff who have been there a few years are lovely and friendly.
June 2018
Call for a drink after walking from Looe, had to make a return another day and we had a fabulous lunch. Lovely people. Lovely place. Lovely food.

Polperro Museum
(2 miles)
(15)
In The Warren overlooking the harbour, the Polperro Heritage Museum of Smuggling and Fishing houses a collection of exhibits and 19th century photographs that date back to a time when both smuggling and fishing thrived in Polperro. It brings to life the little village’s beautiful history and the lives of the people who lived there, having depended on fishing for generations and been home to no less than three factories close by at one point. A delightful opportunity for children and adults alike to learn about local history in this little Cornish village, entry is £1.75 for adults and 50p for children.
1st class
April 2024
Very interesting museum. Well worth a visit
August 2023
Very informative hour spent in the museum. Would recommend Cafe is lovely
July 2023
Great museum with interesting local history. Definitely worth a visit whilst in Polperro.
May 2023
Really informative and interesting journey of smuggling through the ages
May 2023
Great attraction full of great local history and artifacts. Well worth a visit.
August 2022
This is a cracking little museum! It may be small but it is packed with very informative stories and exhibits of the local area and history. Thoroughly recommended!
July 2022
Interesting , good displays , well worth a visit
May 2022
What a lovely setting, small but perfectly formed. We had a lovely cream tea.
September 2021
Really interesting.
September 2021
This is a great little, un-fancy museum with loads of information. It's worth spending time there.
September 2019
Great! And dog friendly!Worth a look and the tea rooms were great.
July 2019
I love a bit of local history and if your like minded, you'll enjoy this place. lots of information on the local boats and fishermen. it would take you a while to read it all.
August 2018
Well worth visiting to get a feel and understanding of how the once thriving community of Polperro used to be in former pilchard fishing (and smuggling) days. The old photos and exhibits transport you back to a very different world (though adults will undoubtedly find the museum more interesting than small children).
May 2018
This museum is packed with interesting facts and some great photos, so even though small we spent a good hour there. Definitely worth a visit to learn more on the local history (including about the more recent floods and storms), fishy facts and smuggling tales!

Polperro Model Village
(2 miles)
(8)
An utterly charming day out for the family, Polperro Model Village and Land of Legend is two attractions in one. The village is, quite literally, the coastal town in miniature and has been around for more than 60 years, surviving both fire and floods – so don’t underestimate the strength of these little guys. Meanwhile, Land of Legend is your chance to explore Cornish folklore, derived from tales of pirates and smugglers who thrived in and around Cornwall from the early modern period through to the 19th century. It is a unique show of lights, sound and animation. The site also houses a model railway, and prices are £3 for adults and £2 for children, open daily from Easter to October.
A lovely attraction for Polperro. Very well thought out and created.
July 2022
Very interesting
July 2022
Lovely little attraction. We were keen to support local businesses so popped in here.
May 2022
Brilliant fun and interesting place to visit
June 2021
This attraction is much more than just a model village. We really loved it.
June 2021
Great value for money. Worth a visit.
September 2020
Disappointed not open
July 2020
Good attraction for young children rather than older children and adults. The miniature village and Land of Legend are charming (though perhaps a little 'worn' by modern standards). There is an interesting audio/visual on the Polperro floods of 1976 and 1993 and a separate small model railway.

Went fishing 5 out of 7 days on the Typhoon with a great skipper Phil
September 2021
The boys had fun on this trip but didn't catch anything to bring home for supper :-)
June 2021
Looe Sailing Club
(2 miles)
Talland Bay
(Less than a mile)
(16)
A small, quiet beach between Looe and Polperro, Talland Bay actually comprises two beaches, one of which has sand both at low and high tide and is good for swimming all the time, while the other is less sandy and is easiest to swim from at high tide. There is a ramp for launching boats from the main beach and there are lots of small coves and tidal pools to swim in as well, so it’s a delightful area to explore in the water. Parking is limited, but there is a small, free car park by the beach and paid parking at The Beach Café, all of which provide easy access to the sand. Thanks to the nearby café, visitors can also benefit from the accompanying facilities, on-site shop, and tuck into Roskillys Cornish Ice-Cream as well.
Sit in the graveyard on the bill and look down to Talland bay. Tranquillity so special. I never fail to go there when I am down. The church is beautiful so much history.
October 2023
Having spent many a happy childhood holiday here - 60 years ago, so wonderful to return. It is so beautiful and with addition of 2 Beach cafes - even better now.
June 2023
Beautiful little bay with a great cafe overlooking it. Dogs allowed on the beach Oct to end of May.....
October 2021
Although there was indeed sand in one of the bays it was largely covered with seaweed at the water's edge when we were there. All very natural.
October 2021
Lovely bay, shingle beach
September 2021
Not a great beach and a bit smelly.
August 2021
Unfortunately the seaweed on the beach made it very smelly and also lots of flies. Beautiful apart from that!
June 2021
Lovely walk from polperro along coast. Cafe in picturesque bay pretty with little huts to shelter. Only downside was the coffee not good at all.
May 2021
Beautiful bay. A little smelly from the seaweed but rock pools galore and quiet
October 2020
Very interesting beach with rock pools at low tide and fascinating multi-coloured rocks, great for photography.
October 2019
A lovely place to walk too on the way to Looe. Hard work back up the hill to polperro, bit it's worth it!
October 2018
The coastal walk from Polperro to Talland Bay is outstanding. As both are scenic, (and Talland Bay benefits from an excellent cafe and free toilets), it makes for an excellent morning or afternoon trip in good weather.
May 2018
Lovely beach,beautiful walk from Polperro. Dogs requested to be kept on leads (which I suppose is preferable to a ban!). Families seem to use this beach alot.
May 2018
An interesting beach at low tide and lovely views.
April 2018
Brilliant. Bit seaweedy. Wear beach shoes incase of weever fish stings.
August 2017
Great beach pet friendly beach with rock pools etc for the dogs to explore
June 2017
Polperro Beach
(2 miles)
(22)
In South East Cornwall, Polperro is widely thought to be one of the area’s most picturesque fishing villages. Brimming with whitewashed cottages all the way down the harbour, the beach sits in a sheltered position under the cliffs, only visible at low tide and close to the harbour. Unsurprisingly, it’s a popular destination and can get busy in the summer months. Dogs are not permitted at the beach during peak season, from Easter to October, and while parking in the village itself is all but impossible, but there’s a large car park about a mile up the valley with a regular shuttle service going up and down the hill.
Just beautiful??
November 2023
We have visited The Blue Peter many times on our holidays to Polperro over the past 20 year or more. There is always a warm and friendly welcome from the staff. The food is excellent. This is a proper pub.
July 2023
beautiful little cove -- just watch the tide times ..........
August 2022
We didn't really use the beach but I did see someone allow their dog to foul on the beach and, although they cleared it up to a certain extent, I don't think this is really acceptable when children are going to be playing in the sand.
June 2022
Lovely small beach
June 2022
Fabulous
September 2021
Lovely small beach very clean with beautiful views
July 2021
Great beach.
June 2021
Polperro a beautiful place , a lovely fishing village
May 2021
The most beautiful little cove featuring caves to explore and the 'net loft' out on the rugged rocks. The sea is a divine colour and I can't wait to come back and swim at a warmer time of year! I enjoyed two mornings in the sun and the peace of being out there first thing exploring this little beach area, it was a great start to those days!
May 2021
This Is a glorious, quaint fishing village with narrow winding alleys and a beautiful little harbour.It is more suited to couples rather than families as there are not many facilities for children, other than a small beach at low tide.
September 2020
Perfect . Love love love
August 2020
The children enjoyed exploring the caves and beachcombing when the tide was out, too many dogs off the lead but it was out of season. Main reason for leaving the review is to strongly recommend you take the two hour fishing trip with either Chris or Olly Puckey on the Smuggler. We had the boat to ourselves and had an excellent value for money trip which we all thoroughly enjoyed. Caught 3 mackerel and a pollock which we took back to the cottage and cooked for tea. A delight! Oh, and we went for brunch afterwards at House on the Props - definitely recommended, I've never had a full English on a baguette before, it was awesome!
October 2019
Our favourite place to visit with wonderful little shops, restaurants and art galleries to browse in on the walk down to the quay. Amazing views as you leave the village and head on the coastal cliff path back towards Looe. We took our dog and he enjoyed exploring the numerous rock pools on the beach. We also explored the right hand coastal path and stumbled across a secluded pool amongst the rocks - steep ascent but well worth the hike! People were bathing in the pool as it was a real sun trap..
August 2019
Small but lovely
May 2019
Beautiful beach if you love beach combing.
April 2019
Easy access, dog ok
October 2018
We visited Polperro harbour/beach with our springer spaniel and although the write-up says no dogs allowed, they are allowed, just on a lead between 10am and 6pm, although beach is small, the sea is safe to swim in and not full of huge rocks, lovely ????
August 2018
Lovely clean small beach.
May 2018
Polperro is a magic place. It is so pretty with its winding streets and old cottages and the harbour with its fishing boats. The residents are so friendly and welcoming and there’s a wide choice of restaurants and cafes. I particularly recommend Michelle’s for fantastic food and a real welcome. As a woman on my own I dined there, as elsewhere, with no feeling of awkwardness. Breakfast at the House on the Props just unbeatable! Spring is one of the best times to visit for the wonderful coastal walks and the masses of wild flowers. When you visit, think about the parking situation before you go as it needs organising, but many rentable cottages have spaces provided in the main car park and PauI who runs a little motorised transport system for luggage is very helpful and reliable. I am one of the thousands of people who just love Polperro and every time I visit feel a great reluctance to leave.
May 2018
Enjoyed the harbour etc and all the shops but had dogs so did not visit the beach but a beautiful setting.
June 2017
really lovely, a must visit desination.
May 2017
Looe Beach
(2 miles)
(20)
In East Looe, the beach sits directly in front of the old town, sheltered by the Banjo Pier and overlooked from the east by the hillside of Mount Ararat. A good family beach that has something for everyone, at low tide the sandy location is safe for swimming although it’s recommended you steer clear of the river mouth beyond the pier. Unfortunately dogs aren’t allowed on this beach at any time of the year, but Hannafore beach in West Looe is dog friendly. The beach backs on to a seafront walkway which runs its length all the way to Second Beach to the east, where it tends to be less busy and it’s good for snorkeling. As it’s in the centre of the town there are lots of facilities and cafes nearby, but in the summer it’s a very popular spot and parking can be tricky, with traffic prohibited during these months, so be prepared for a bit of a walk.
Some days quite busy but great facilities and loads of activities
August 2023
Great, despite the early season seaweed, the tractor cleared it very well.
April 2023
LOVE LOVE LOVE
July 2022
All of the beaches around Looe are worth visiting - and the coastal path is a must. Fuel for the hike? Not listed in the reviews is Sarah’s Pasties which has the best pasties (we ate a lot of pasties during the week!). They were also one of the few eateries in the area which could provide something for someone needing a gluten and dairy free diet. We were able to preorder pasties that met her dietary requirements.
February 2022
Wonderful beach
December 2021
Safe and sandy beach perfect for kids
August 2021
I enjoyed the beach as it is very flat, which is important at 70, and I even had a paddle. The beach was very clean.
July 2021
One of the best beaches I have visited. It is nice and level and I was even able to have a paddle. It was very clean.
July 2021
Great beach so close all amenities
July 2021
Such a lovely beach. A shame people didn’t socially distance or even attempt to do so.
August 2020
Spent a week at new year in this beautiful apartment. Everything you could possibly need was in there. Lovely comfy bed,spotless clean and the bonus of a sea view. Central for everything. Will definitely return.
January 2020
Wonderful clean beach
October 2019
Perfect for the children but beware of seagulls. We always take a beach tent so children can safely enjoy their food and ice cream!
June 2019
Lovely beach suitable for everyone
June 2019
A wonderful place to sit relax eat an ICECREAM or a pastie, if the seagulls will let you! Perfect beach x
August 2018
You cannot fail to love Looe beach, early morning, during the day or for and evening stroll. A super clean beach.
May 2018
Lovely sandy beach. No dogs allowed but there is a small cove at the far end which allows dogs to enjoy their holiday too with a dip in The English Channel.
May 2018
Looe beach and seafront is cleaned every day (in season?) and looks good. A joy to sit and watch the sea and people passing by.
April 2018
Really good! Good sand and sea. Activities for the kids too. Difficult to get to cos no parking nearby.
August 2017
Lovely beach and even when it was busy didn't feel overcrowded
August 2017
Hannafore Beach
(3 miles)
(9)
Half a mile west of Looe, stretching along the coast, Hannafore Beach is a sandy, shingle bay with a rocky reef and views of St George’s Island. At low tide it’s brimming with rock pools, making it fun and games for the whole family to enjoy, and it’s a wonderful sun trap in summer months thanks to its south east facing position. Because of its location over the river, the beach never really becomes too busy, but equally there aren’t any facilities nearby. It’s popular with dog walkers as it’s amongst the few dog-friendly beaches in the area, and having explored you can extend your excursion to a stroll along the promenade or a potter around the coast path to the wonderfully scenic Talland Bay. There is roadside parking along the sea front above the beach, but it can be difficult to find a space. Alternatively, there is a large car park in West Looe, around 10 minutes away on foot.
Splendid views and dog accessible
July 2022
The best place to unwind
August 2020
Great for rock pooling
August 2020
Great fun had by our dog 'Moses'
August 2019
Lovely for the dogs!
August 2018
Really nice beach and walk
June 2018
An interesting beach, but beware the incoming tide !
April 2018
Great beach. Good view of looe island. Loads of shells to collect. Lots of dog walkers tho!
August 2017
One of the many dog friendly beaches we visited lovely coastal walks to Talland Bay the nature reserve island is very interesting great refreshments available and not forgetting the free parking available all day which is very useful.
June 2017
Plaidy Beach
(3 miles)
(1)
A small and pleasant grey sand beach with rocks exposed at low tide, Plaidy Beach is simply a nice place to visit and take in the scenery. There aren’t any facilities, and there’s no parking nearby so it’s one to reach on foot. There’s a slipway to the beach, but you will have to access it by walking along the coast path, parking at Millendreath or Looe and it’s worth keeping in mind that it’s quite steep from both directions. Millendreath is closer and the walk should take around 20 minutes. Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round, so it’s a charming place to take them for a walk while you’re in the area.
Great to walk to at low tide on the beach or at high tide via the footpath. Great dog friendly beach.
