What to do: rockpooling, wildlife watching
Shellfish and sanitary status: The waters around Looe are a marine conservation area, so do not collect shellfish here. Elsewhere in Cornwall, check the FSA classification and the Cornwall IFCA rules.
Rules and safety
The shore is in the Whitsand and Looe Bay Marine Conservation Area. Look at animals in place and put stones back. Do not try to walk to Looe Island: landing is only possible by the authorised boat.
About the place
Hannafore is the rocky shore west of Looe, facing Looe Island. Low tide uncovers wide ledges full of pools. The island and its waters are protected and managed by Cornwall Wildlife Trust.
