Looe is a traditional fishing port and tourism destination, situated on the South Coast of Cornwall between Plymouth and Fowey. Its greatest attractions are a lovely sandy beach and tidal river, which border the harbour shops and cafes. Boats provide fishing trips from the harbour, as well as pleasure cruises around Looe Island, the bay and river.

Looe Harbour is at the heart of the town and plays a pivotal in many of the community events held throughout the year.

Looe Island is owned by Cornwall Wildlife Trust and managed as a nature reserve. There are many boat trips from Looe Harbour to the island most days throughout the tourist season.
