Loe Bar Beach
Loe Bar Beach is beautiful and is situated near Porthleven. Behind the beach is the largest natural fresh water lake in Cornwall which is called the Loe, the strand of sand is then called the bar.
The beach is the most dangerous in Cornwall due to many lives being lost here and the sea has extremely strong currents. This is strictly a non swimming beach and has many signs posted around saying this. However, due to this the beach is often quiet which makes it a tranquil place to relax. You can also enjoy a long walk around the lake which can take a few hours to do and has some amazing sports for a picnic.

The Loe Pool in Cornwall 1990
Loe Pool is the largest natural freshwater lake in Cornwall, England. It is separated from the sea by the shingle bank of Loe Bar. The Loe is reputed to be the lake in which Sir Bedivere cast King Arthur's sword, Excalibur. Local superstition also warns that the Loe claims a victim every seven years.

Porthleven, Cornwall
Porthleven is a town, fishing port and parish in West Cornwall. The town is famous for its harbour and its Bickford-Smith Institute.
The town is relatively new and in the 18th century the houses were just around the harbour, but there has been a fair and annual market recorded at a part known as Methleigh as early as 1066.
Porthleven is made up of three hamlet, Torleven, Well Moor and Graves End. None of these hamlets still survive however the name 'Torleven' is still in use as it is the name of the road leading from Fore Street to the A394 at Sithney Common Hill. Porthleven harbour was a place of refuge because the large amount of ships that had crashed and the name of the old hamlet 'Graves End' was called that because of the large amount of fishermen who died there.
On an area called Breageside, a cross has been erected on the cliffs in memory of the fishermen who died at sea.
The Bickford-Smith institute is one of the most famous buildings in Cornwall and is 70 feet high. It is used as a town hall and also a snooker club.
St Bartholomew's Church was built in 1842 in the parish of Sithney and was a chapel in the parish of Sithney until Porthleven was made its own parish in 1844. The small parish covers a large amount of Porthleven and also part of Loe Pool and the Penrose Estate.
Porthleven was used in the filming of Wycliffe in the 1990's, a crime drama made by HTV and distributed by ITV Studios. The clocktower on the Bickford-Smith institute is very famous for photographs of waves coming over it and has been used a number of times in documentaries and also as a background to BBC and occasionally ITV Weather forecasts.

Cornwall UK. A beach with two shorelines,come visit Loe Bar.
Simply Cornwall - Loe Bar beach is situated midway between Porthleven and Gunwalloe in West Cornwall. Before natural events created the bar it was the estuary leading to the river Cober. At that time vessels could navigate inland to Helston. It is now the largest natural body of fresh water in Cornwall. Local folklore has it that Loe Pool will take a life every seven years and sadly there have been a number of misfortunes over the years. There is believed to be the wreck of a world war 2 bomber that crashed at the end of the war somewhere in the pool..
