Looe Beach and Looe Island
naturalLooe's wide sandy beach sits at the mouth of two rivers — the East and West Looe — that converge in an estuary around the old town's bridges. Offshore, Looe Island (St George's Island) is a nature reserve managed by Cornwall Wildlife Trust, home to grey seals and breeding seabirds. Boat trips run from the harbour in summer; the beach itself is one of the most reliably good in south-east Cornwall.

The village itself, with its colour-washed cottages and inner harbour, is one of the most visited in Cornwall.
