Looe

Originally two towns separated by the river, the historic fishing port of Looe is renowned for its sheltered beaches, quaint old buildings and labyrinth of narrow streets.  There are numerous local pubs and restaurants in which to eat out and many interesting shops and places to visit.

Looe is still a busy fishing port with all the hustle and bustle concentrated in East Looe where the quayside is laden with nets and floats and catches are auctioned in the market.   The boats come and go with the tide just as they have done since the earliest fishermen landed catches here.

East Looe has the sandier of the town’s two beaches.  The beach at Hannafore is rocky with a host of pools for children to explore. Whichever side of the river you stay both beaches are within easy reach via the road bridge or ferry boat.
