User reviews
"To be considered a proper beach, the tide must be completely out. However, it's not really suitable for swimming and is more popular among paddle boarders for launching. But during low tide, it's definitely worth checking out for the rock pools and caves. Plus, there's a partially paved path over the rocks that makes it easier to explore."

"The beach at Polperro boasts golden sands that add to its already charming, historic, and beautiful ambiance."
