- LOOE CORNWALL | Full tour of holiday seaside town Looe, a picturesque fishing town and holiday destination in south-east Cornwall, England, is a captivating destination for a British seaside holiday..
You will find Looe in Cornwall between Plymouth and Fowey.
Nestled on the banks of the River Looe, Looe's charm lies in its delightful blend of beautiful beaches, a historic harbour, and a quaint town center.
Looe boasts two unique beach experiences. East Looe's main beach beckons with its golden sands, perfect for families with young children to build sandcastles, relax under the warm sun, or enjoy safe and refreshing swims in its gentle waters. For the more adventurous, Hannafore Beach on the other side of the river offers a rocky terrain teeming with life in its tidal pools. Explore the rock pools during low tide and discover a variety of marine creatures like crabs, starfish, and colorful anemones.
Looe's historic harbour throbs with activity. Watch colorful fishing boats bobbing on the water, or witness the lively scene as fishermen unload their daily catches. Take a leisurely boat trip around the harbour, or venture further out to sea for an exhilarating exploration of the Cornish coastline. Seafood lovers are in for a treat! The harbour is lined with excellent seafood restaurants where you can savor the freshest catches of the day.
Looe's narrow streets, lined with a delightful jumble of shops, cafes, and pubs, are a paradise for explorers. Browse through local shops selling everything from handcrafted souvenirs and beach essentials to delectable Cornish treats like clotted cream teas and saffron buns. Rest your legs and quench your thirst at a cozy cafe, or unwind with a refreshing pint at a traditional pub steeped in local history.
Looe serves as a perfect base to explore the surrounding natural beauty of Cornwall. Embark on scenic walks along the South West Coast Path, a national trail offering breathtaking coastal vistas.

Like your review we went on family holiday to Newquay in 2019 and visited Looe in a trip around Cornwall and found it to be a lovely coastal village . We stayed at st Ives last year but didn't visit it on this occasion , but this summer we are going to st Ives again and will pay this beautiful Cornish village a visit again

A wonderful place I have been here twice and I remember the wonderful green colour of the sea. I came here on the Bakers Dolphin coaches from Burnham On Sea before lockdown.
I had my last holiday with my parents in Looe, 1974, my dad took me out for a pint, shandy, and my mam brought me a parker pen to use at work, mam and dad are gone now, still have the pen.
We sell Old Guys Rule tee shirts in company I work for in Ohio.
