Polperro

Sand

Beach Polperro is a sheltered, small beach located in the fishing village of Polperro on the south coast of Cornwall. The village is known for its whitewashed cottages and pleasant atmosphere, attracting many tourists. The beach is situated below cliffs near the harbour entrance, providing an attractive setting for sunbathing and swimming. However, the beach can become crowded quickly, especially during peak season, due to its small size. It is important to check the tide times before visiting, as the beach disappears at high tide. Parking is available at the top of a hill, but charges apply. Overall, Beach Polperro is a delightful place to enjoy the Cornish sunshine and take in the charming surroundings.
