You can walk along the south west coastal path to either Polperro or Polruan. There is a lovely beach as-well but the climb down is pretty difficult. A very peaceful area. · via Google [Suresh Roch Perera](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109502830470157800191/reviews) ★★★★★ This was a spacious car park...but remember to take coins with you as even though there's a just park number the location is not enabled for online payments. Lantic bay is about 10 to 15 min walk from the car park depending on how you handle the walking terrain. · via Google [Michael Thomas](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/113875790921547261441/reviews) ★★★★★ Beautiful beach. The walk to the beach is very steep and may be a bit much for some people. But definitely worth the walk if your able. Great place for the family or couples to have a picnic with amazing views. Carpark is about 10 min walk away and not to much to pay. · via Google [Daniel Martinez Dowsett](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/117847870143208270256/reviews) ★★★★★ The car park is located about 0.5km from Lantic Bay beach. It’s a steep walk down and up so I do not recommend for people with mobility issues or who are at risk during heatwaves. Prices £2 - 1hr, £4 -2hrs, £8 - all day. You can also pay using the pay by phone app code 803431. Signage seems to suggest open 24hrs. I would recommend bringing more than one means of payment with you as the machine was not taking coins on the day I was there and your phone signal can be bad here depending on the network. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x486b6145bc7676e3:0x140ab8a7a3c9e3b0!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Polruan [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=50.3329402%2C-4.6014114) **Category** Beaches & Coastline **Guest rating** 4.5 / 5 (129 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Setting** Outdoor **Good for children** Yes **Toilets on site** No **Destination** Fowey [More attractions in Fowey](https://staycation.co.uk/fowey/attractions) ★ 4.5 (129 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/lantivet-bay?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01726 870146](tel:01726870146) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Fowey **Plus Code** 9C2Q89MX+5C [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x486b6145bc7676e3:0x140ab8a7a3c9e3b0!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x486b6145bc7676e3:0x140ab8a7a3c9e3b0!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x486b6145bc7676e3:0x140ab8a7a3c9e3b0!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Fowey Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
