By bus
Park in Looe and take the bus that leaves from in front of the doctor's surgery.
On foot
From Looe take the well marked coastal path. It's a lovely 8km walk, taking about an hour to two depending on speed. However the steep climb out of Polperro may prove problematic for some.
The walk into town from the parking lot is not very steep and takes 10 minutes.50 (75p one way).
