If you are looking for that hidden, idyllic, beautiful bay, then this is the place. Lantic Bay, which is owned by the National Trust, is just a classic hidden gem tucked away between Fowey and Poplerro. It has a large bay with turquoise water and golden sands; simply a stunning place. It is not easy to get to its gorgeous beach though, it will take you about twenty minutes to reach the beach by a footpath from the National Trust car park east of Polruan.

A bay like from a fairy tale. If you turn the corner (at low tide!) at the other end of the bay, a small rainforest is revealed, the water drips from the steep, lush green slopes.
