About

About Hannafore Beach

Hannafore Beach is the seafront beach at West Looe, a quieter alternative to the busier town beach in East Looe. It is mainly shingle and rock, with some sandy stretches at low tide, and faces south east across the water to Looe Island.

What to expect

This is one of the best rock pooling beaches around Looe. Large, shallow pools with easy access are uncovered twice a day by the tide, and you may find starfish, crabs and prawns. The local Marine Conservation Group runs rockpool rambles through the year. A long sea wall runs along the back of the beach, which makes it easy for many visitors to enjoy.

Facilities

There is free parking on the road above the beach, seasonal cafes including Hannafore Kiosk, and a putting green and tennis courts nearby.

Dogs and families

The beach is dog friendly all year and popular with dog walkers. Check tide times before rock pooling, as the pools are only uncovered around low water.

Finding Hannafore Beach

Address: Marine Drive, Hannafore, West Looe, Looe, Cornwall PL13 2DJ. Walk along Hannafore Road from West Looe harbour, or drive and park on Marine Drive. For tides, access and more photos see the Hannafore beach guide.
