User reviews
"The beach is a delightful location with plenty to explore, including charming shops and narrow lanes. Spending four hours here was a fantastic experience, and there is no shortage of things to discover. Children will undoubtedly enjoy the crabbing opportunities available."
Lila Stone
"The beach at Millindreath was quite lovely, but the walk to Looe on the coastal path was rather tedious. The Looe estuary was impressive, but not quite enough to make up for the lackluster journey. All things considered, I wouldn't exactly recommend this place for a visit."
