Polperro is a quaint fishing harbour and village between Looe and Fowey. Much of the streets in Polperro are very narrow and in the summer months are prohibited to traffic so It is necessary to park in the main car park and then walk down to the village. Park and ride options are in operation during summer months.Polperro is very picturesque and well worth a visit.
Local note
Polperro has the kind of harbour character we love: practical, weathered, and full of small details that reward a slower look.
Arrive early in peak season where possible, and leave time for parking, slopes and narrow streets.
A good family read before a visit: talk about boats, tides, old buildings and how harbour life works.
Harbours can be useful for learning about tides and shelter, but always follow local signs and safety rules.
Check tides, parking and opening times if you are visiting for food, boat trips or a family wander.
Sea Fishing around Polperro
Polperro is a good spot for mackerel, wrasse and pollock but it can get very busy with tourists during the summer months.
