Polperro Beach is a picturesque destination located in Cornwall, known for its charming fishing village and unique architectural features.
Polperro Beach is a very small cove situated in a beautiful little Cornish fishing village. The village is characterised by tiny, ancient cottages that appear to be tottering into the sea at high tide, giving it a quaint and historic charm.
The beach and village offer several attractions and features, including a smuggler's museum, which showcases the region's rich history of smuggling. Visitors can also explore the village to see the work of local artists, and admire the distinctive shell-fronted house.
The village and beach are well worth a visit for those interested in history, architecture, and art. The unique setting and attractions make it an ideal destination for a day trip or a short holiday.
Polperro Beach is on the Gribbin Head - Polperro Heritage Coast, and adjacent to the South West Coast Path.
