Loe Beach in Feock, Cornwall, has been listed for sale with offers starting at £3 million, presenting a rare opportunity to purchase a significant stretch of the UK coastline. The property includes the beach itself, 6.2 acres of land, a car park, and a cafe.
This scenic location, situated between Falmouth and St Mawes, is known for its calm atmosphere and expansive views across the Carrick Roads, a highly regarded natural harbor. The area is popular with locals and visitors and offers immediate access to the Fal River, making it ideal for various watersports such as waterskiing, dinghy sailing, and kayaking.
The current owners, who have held the property for decades, have operated a successful car park on the site, which also serves as a boat storage area. The sale also includes a boatyard and a cafe. While public toilets are located on the site, they are owned by Cornwall Council, with the Loe Beach owners maintaining them for public use.
According to the listing by Vickery Holman, who is managing the sale, the property represents a "truly special location" with a "rare and commercially positive situation." The agent noted that there is significant potential for a new owner to either maintain the existing facilities or implement sensitive improvements.
The property has been made available through an informal tender process, marking the first time in multiple generations that this portion of the coastline has been offered for sale. Nearby attractions include Mylor, Restronguet, and the city of Truro, approximately six miles away.
For those seeking more modest coastal investments, the report also mentions a beach hut in North Wales that was recently listed for £50,000 after being in the same family for over 60 years, and notes that coastal properties can be rented for as little as £30 per day.
