Life and bustle all year

Looe has life and bustle to it throughout the year. As an operating fishing village, boats come and go in the harbour daily while the restaurants and pubs cater as much for the locals as for tourists. The natural lived-in feel is very welcoming whether you come in winter or summer.

Looe is in two parts; East Looe has most of the shops, pubs and restaurants, plus the beach, the active harbourside and probably 80% of the life of the village. West Looe is quieter, but very pretty. A bridge links the two parts or you can take a ferry across the river when the tide is in.

For families, the beach is perfect; soft sand at the top of the beach and masses of flat sand when the tide goes out for games or castle building. Cross the Khyber Pass into the next bay and you have another beach with rock pools and smugglers caves to explore!

The Cornish coast path stretches away from Looe in both directions and there are lovely cliff top walks. It’s about two hours to Polperro in one direction and a similar time to Seaton in the other.
