Lekerock Cove is a small, secluded sandy cove located on the south‐east coast of Cornwall, England, near Talland Bay between Looe and Polperro. It lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. [1]

Geography and Access

Lekerock Cove is tucked beneath steep cliffs, situated near Downend Rock and Talland Sand. It is accessible via a steep descent from the South West Coast Path, commonly reached on foot during hiking between Polperro and Looe.

Description

The beach is small—approximately 130 metres long, known for its clear water and serene atmosphere. Due to its challenging access and remote setting, it remains quiet and lightly used. Visitors must supply their own provisions, as there are no facilities on site.

Nearby Features

Nearby sites of interest include:

  • Talland Bay, offering shingle and sand beaches with relatively easy access and nearby parking and facilities.
  • Downend Rock, a small islet located just southwest of the cove.
