Coastal Walks

Polperro is blessed with stunning coastal scenery (see the photos below) and you can walk along the South West Coastal Path in either direction and enjoy wonderful coastal views. The walk to Looe is a particular favourite for guests, approx. 4.5 miles in length and with a stop in Talland Bay on route. Talland Bay is another sheltered cove with a cafe (open seasonally) very close to the beach. The town of Looe offers refreshments and much amusement and if you don't feel up to the walk back then you can catch a taxi back to Polperro or see if there are any boats trips being run by the local fisherman.

The coastal path runs in the other direction towards Polruan and Fowey and from this route you can find the secluded beaches of Llansallos and Lantic Bay

You can also discover a hidden gem, The Polperro Swimming Pool. Yes Polperro has a tidal pool which can be found off the coastal path from the steps that lead down from the cliff top on the Fowey side of the harbour. Follow the steps up past The Blue Peter, follow the footpath that leads to the top of the cliff overlooking the village and you will find the steps down to the tidal pool.
