Season: spring
There was bright morning sunshine for this spring visit. Two Canadian canoes were preparing for a day paddling the creeks at the top of Carrick Roads and beyond. I chatted to Peter about the rich history of people’s links to canoes and the beach.

Early morning at Loe beach.
Season: winter
I returned to Loe Beach, several months after a previous September dawn visit during an Indian Summer. An uncanny tranquility and peace were both still there, as you can see by comparing these two films to those below them from the earlier visit.

Timeless tranquility at Loe beach. This was recorded during January, but it’s often like this first thing in the morning.
Season: summer
Tranquility and peace were the order of the day at Loe Beach on a high tide. The sea was calm, ideal for swimming and kayaking, which was already underway as I arrived. This is also a wonderful beach to look out from, past the swinging moorings and the yachts. You can see down to Falmouth and Pendennis Castle via Mylor Churchtown, then look across towards St Just-in-Roseland and Turnaware Point on the Roseland Peninsula. It’s a fine spot, ideal for those who live or work in Truro.

Season: autumn
Loe beach is the nearest beach to Truro, located in Feock, just south of the city. It’s popular all year round, especially for boating folk, due to its location at the top of Carrick Roads. The Truro gig launches and practises from here. During my early morning visit it was eerily tranquil, the dawn sun painting a Turneresque palette in the sky. It’s very handy if you’re working in Truro and need to see the sea.
