Portloe Walks
This pretty Cornish village includes a picturesque harbour and some fine walks into the surrounding Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
This circular walk from the village visits Nare Head, Carne Beach and the neighbouring village of Veryan.
The walk starts in the village where you can pick up the South West Coast Path and follow the waymarked trail south west to Jacka Point, The Straythe, Blouth Point and Nare Head. From here you turn north west to visit Carne Beach and Pendower Beach.
The route then turns north east to follow pleasant country lanes past Gwendra to Veryan. More country lanes then take you east past Sunny Corner to return to Portloe.

Pubs/Cafes
Back in the village The Lugger is a good choice for some post walk refreshment. The 17th century inn is located in a great spot right next to the coast. They have a sun terrace where you sit outside and enjoy fine views with your drinks. The Sunday Times has selected the inn as the "Best Seaside Hotel".
Dog Walking
The coastal and country paths make for a fine dog walk. The Lugger mentioned above is also dog friendly.
