Talland Bay is one of the delightful, hidden treasures of this part of Cornwall. It can be reached either by the coastal footpath from Looe or Polperro, or by one of two narrow lanes that descend steeply from the A387. At low tide four beaches open on to the bay, the two innermost are served by car parks and cafes while the others are accessible on foot. In the past the bay was a landing place for smugglers, more recently its submerged reefs have attracted scuba divers.
