  Plaidy Beach is a sandy beach with rock pools although at high tide it disapears. It is about ½ mile from Looe beach along a nice footpath. Plaidy Beach is utilised by holiday makers staying at the Millendreath Holiday Village but as there are no facilities, toilets or car parking at Plaidy, it can be reasonably quiet. Park at Millendreath and walk along to Plaidy.

  Large sandy beach with man made seating areas and rocks to one side and Banjo Pier to the other. At high tode you have a large beach but at low tide you have a large area of flat sand. The sea is shallow for a long way out and so you can enjoy paddling or swimming. Banjo Pie is a very popular place for a spot of rod and line fishing. Popular beach for families and in the height of the season but can becomes very busy but if you travel to the east the beach becomes quieter and rockier. Facilities include parking, toilets, trampolines, shops and places to eat.
