10 minutes drive. Beautiful fishing village with amazing pubs. The Blue Peter is a must for food and a pint of Scrumpy Jack Cider. The fish platter at the 3 Pilchards is fantastic. Local events include the water carnival, fireworks night and the Christmas lights switch on. Note: parking on the main car park may be pricey. Alternative free parking can be found at times next to the school - from which you can walk down into the village via the coastal path.

20 minutes drive - well worth the trip. A south facing beach Millendreath lies at the foot of a wooded valley in a sheltered cove that during low tide has pleasant soft sands and numerous rock pools to explore. However, at high tide the beach mostly disappears. There is parking and a beach Bistro. There is a dog ban on this beach from 1st May - end September. This is a fabulous place to visit to experience kayaking, paddling boarding and Sea scooters.

15 minutes drive - Lansallos Beach is also known as West Coomb and is dog-friendly year round. You'll find this rugged cove if you head in the direction of Fowey, and up towards Looe and Polperro. ... This is a National Trust beach, so parking will be free if you're members. Park in the car park and take the footpath to the left of the church. This is a beautiful woodland walk down to the cove and the views are breathtaking.

10 minutes drive. A lovely bucket and spade style beach located on south east Cornwall’s tranquil coast. A long-time favourite with holidaymakers, East Looe beach is a perfect location for swimming as the beach gently shelves providing easy access especially for the little ones. The sand is great for castle building and you can promenade along the sea front enjoying an ice cream. Backed by substantial sea defences where you can sit and watch the world go by, behind the beach is the vibrant main town home to cafes, restaurants and shops. From the unusually shaped Banjo Pier next to the beach you can watch the many fishing boats come and go while crabbing is the favoured pastime for kids along the nearby harbour walls. Many boat trips leave from the town to explore the beautiful coastline and Looe Island, a wildlife sanctuary just off Hannafore Point and there’s even a glass bottom boat from where you can observe the marvels of local marine life. Sand chairs for the disabled available for hire, please contact Looe Town Trust Seafront Workshops on 01503 263709

Things To Do

Ideas for things to do - rain or shine.
20 minutes drive - Carnglaze Caverns is a much recommended all-weather family tourist attraction near the village of St Neot, on the southern edge of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, halfway between Liskeard and Bodmin just off the A38. There is a lovely woodland walk and enough to keep you occupied for half a day.
