Polperro is located south of Looe. A small Cornish seaside town steeped in great history, from its fishing heritage to a smuggling haven for pirates, with its small back alleys and accessible caves to move the untaxed goods around. Now the town of Polperro is a beautiful quaint village whose narrow streets and pretty cottages remain undeniably attractive. Many of the cottages are covered with beautiful flowers in the summer. The winding streets are so narrow they are forbidden to cars, so using the century-old footpath to explore is ideal.

Godrevy is connected to Gwithian beach and at low tide this stretch of beach reaches staggering lengths and could be walked all the way to Carbis Bay at some points but be sure to check the tide times and not get caught out!
