Lantic Bay, Cornwall

Leave the Cornish crowds behind at this secluded hidden gem. With its green hillsides and deep, turquoise-coloured water Lantic Bay on Cornwall’s south coast looks more like the Mediterranean than England.

National Trust owned, it's ideal for a proper leg-stretch, with a pretty steep 20 minute scramble down from the car park to the beach. The walk and the lack of any facilities means you might well be the only person/pooch here, which makes this little cove feel even more magical.

Why you should visit Lantic Bay

  • Secluded paradise: A hidden gem far from the Cornish crowds, offering peace, quiet, and breathtaking views.
  • Mediterranean feel: With turquoise waters and lush green hillsides, it looks more like southern Europe than the UK.
  • Unspoilt natural beauty: Owned by the National Trust, the bay remains wild and undeveloped.
  • Perfect for walkers: The steep path down is part of the adventure — ideal for those who love a scenic hike with a reward at the end.
  • Tranquil escape: With no facilities or nearby shops, you’ll often have the beach almost to yourself.
  • Dog-friendly haven: A great spot for adventurous dogs and owners who enjoy exploring off the beaten track.

How to get to Lantic Bay

  • By car: Located between Polperro and Fowey on Cornwall’s south coast. Follow signs for the National Trust Lantic Bay car park (PL23 1NP). From there, it’s around a 20-minute steep walk down to the beach.
  • By train: The nearest stations are Looe and Par, both around a 30–40 minute drive away.
  • By bus: Local bus services run to nearby villages, but reaching the beach itself requires walking from the National Trust car park.
  • On foot: The South West Coast Path passes close to the bay — a beautiful route for hikers approaching from Polperro or Fowey.
