  • Looe

    Looe holidays

    Situated around a small harbour and along a steep-sided valley Looe is in fact two towns, East Looe and West Looe. Connected by a bridge across the tidal River Looe, the quiet rocky foreshores of West Looe differ from the busy waterfront, Banjo Pier and the sandy beach of East Looe.

    Pilchard copper and smuggling have all played a part in Looe’s prosperity in the past and now Looe is Cornwall’s second largest fishing port, with a sizeable fleet and busy fish market. The town is also a British Centre for shark fishing. Looe Island, where there are no roads, shops or cars, lies about one mile off the coast of Looe and is open to day visitors in the season.
