Looe Hannafore Beach is a scenic coastal destination located near the town of Looe in Cornwall, England.

Looe Hannafore Beach is characterised by a long, mainly rocky shoreline that stretches around Hannafore Point, situated to the west of Looe. The beach features some pebble and sandy patches, with grassy banks above.

The beach is located just west of Looe, with the town's amenities, including shops, cafes, and a museum, easily accessible just over the East Looe River.
