The term "hidden gem" is often used to describe some of the more remote beaches in Cornwall, but if there is any one beach that deserves this title it would be Lantic Bay. Located on the quiet, but stunning stretch of coast between Fowey and Polperro this is not the kind of place you simply stumble upon. However, once found you will be rewarded by a vista of near white sand and turquoise water all set in a bay backed by high, verdant cliffs. Technically there are two beaches in Lantic Bay, Little Lantic and Great Lantic beach. At low tide you can walk between the two but with the rising tide they become separate coves. To the western end of the beach are a some further secluded coves which again are easily reachable at low tide, however care must be taken not to get cut off by the retuning tide. The beach here is mostly sand, although there are patches of pebble and shingle depending on how far up or down the beach you go. With a shoreline that shelves quite steeply Lantic Bay is an ideal place to visit by boat, and a large proportion of visitors do. This also makes it good for swimming, but care must be taken as there can be strong rip currents at certain states of tide. Being as secluded as the beach is there are no lifeguards. Park in the NT car park at the top. It's a long, steep walk down and back up, again but its well worth it!

Wonderful beach but a hike and climb to reach. Worth it if you can. Check tides and go when it is going out not at high tide. National Trust (free to members) carpark a good 15 minutes walk away. Continue and walk the coastal path to Polruan and catch ferry over to Fowey

One of the most beautiful hidden bays in all of England, the car park is just a 5 minutes drive from Fox Valley Cottages. So park up and take a hike to Lantic Bay, Lantivit Bay or an easier walk to Lansallos Cove, all beautiful and all dog friendly!
