About Looe
It is more than a century ago now that people first started to discover the charms of East and West Looe, then just small fishing communities hidden away in the picturesque river valley. Those early visitors came to spend time on the beach, to go fishing or to go rambling in the surrounding countryside. Today visitors still return year after year because it continues to offer those same pleasures and that something special for visitors of all ages.
A long history as a port and fishing village means Looe has plenty of pubs in which to spend an enjoyable evening soaking up the atmosphere. A quiet pint in a slate floored, low beamed bar or an up-tempo night with live entertainment, it is your choice.
During the day East Looe beach offers safe swimming, sun bathing or perfect sand for budding castle builders. With all the facilities of the town just behind the beach it makes for an easy relaxing day out with no need to carry tons of supplies miles along paths. Just beyond the main beach, and also at West Looe, the golden sand gives way to rocks and rock pools. Here a whole new world is awaiting those who like exploring.
