East and West Looe are joined by the famous seven arched Looe Bridge.

There is a choice of four beaches: East Looe beach is wide, safe and sandy; Second Beach, of rocks and rock pools - watch out for the tide; Plaidy Beach for peace and quiet, reached by the coastal path or at low tide; Hannafore Beach, shingle and rocky and part of the Looe Voluntary Marine Conservation Area, beyond West Looe.

Looe has a wide choice of places to eat and remains an important Cornish fishing port, with a sizeable fleet and large fish market.
