Talland Bay sits between Looe and Polperro on Cornwall’s south coast, with two small, sheltered coves edged by cliffs and fields. Staying in a family holiday cottage near Talland Bay gives you easy access to coarse golden sand, rockpools and clear, shallow water that is great for paddling and swimming when the tide is in. With a beach café, parking and toilets close by, it feels manageable for families who like a quieter spot without giving up basic facilities.
Children can spend hours hunting for crabs in the rockpools, building dams in the little streams and exploring the rocky shoreline between the two coves at low tide. Short stretches of the South West Coast Path climb away from the bay for big sea views before you drop back down for an ice cream or hot chocolate. Having a holiday home nearby means you can time visits around the tide, nip back quickly if the weather changes and enjoy peaceful evenings once the day-trippers have gone.
