Description:Loe
Bar is a large sand and gravel beach which is the middle part
of Porthleven Sands and acts as a sand bank between the sea
and The Loe freshwater lake. Loe Bar Beach is usually quiet
due to limited parking and no facilities
Directions:Loe Bar is approximately 5 miles from Helston.
Approach Helston on the A394 from the east or west. Alternatively
drive to Redruth on the A30 and at Redruth take the B3297
to Helston. At Helston follow the A3083 to Lizard. About 2
miles after Helston turn right to Gunwalloe. After 2 miles
turn right at Gunwalloe and continue on this road until a
junction. Turn left and then just before a farm turn right
onto a very narrow country lane. Along here is a small car
park. Just beyond the car park, the lane becomes a gently
sloping gravel track not suitable for cars but can be walked
to Loe Bar beach. Alternatively, park at Porthleven and walk
the coast path south (about 1 mile to Loe Bar)
