Loe Bar Beach

Loe Bar Beach comprises two parts: The Loe, which is the largest natural freshwater lake in Cornwall and the Bar, a half-mile shingle/flint bank that separates The Loe from the sea. The uniqueness makes this a Designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

Dogs are allowed all year at Loe Bar.

The sea at this part of the coast is unsuitable for swimming, as it shelves off very deeply close to the shoreline. The beach is also prone to freak waves and strong currents.

The nearest parking and facilities are at Porthleven.
