Great stop on the hiking trail to Polperro. You have a great view of the sea and can enjoy the delicious scones with clotted cream and English tea. We recommend!

Talland Bay is a peaceful village between Looe and Polperro. The beach to the west has sand at all tides and is good for swimming at most times. There are lots of rockpools to explore at low tide. The second beach, to the east, is less sandy and is easiest to swim from at high tide. You can also swim in small coves and natural pools here.

Hike from Looe or Polperro along the coastal path, and pop into the Talland Bay Hotel for lunch!
