The village lies in the east of the county, about 10 miles southwest of Plymouth and is the second largest fishing port in Cornwall. It is a popular tourist destination, with its sandy beaches, winding streets, and quaint harbour.

The settlement of Looe is said to have been established by the Romans, with evidence of a Roman fort being found in the area. It is speculated that the fort was probably part of the Fosse Way, a Roman road connecting Exeter to Lincoln. During the medieval period, Looe was an important port, with ships trading goods in and out of the local area. It was granted its first charter by King John in 1201, giving it a certain degree of autonomy and allowing the town to become an important trading centre.

Today, Looe is a bustling fishing port, with its harbour providing a livelihood for many in the town. Fishing boats regularly come in to shore, loaded with a variety of fish, from mackerel to scallops. The fish is then sold in the local fish market, where it is bought by local restaurants and can be found in the shops and stalls in the area.

The main attraction in Looe is the beach, which is a large stretch of golden sand that overlooks the harbour. The beach is a great place to relax, with an array of activities available such as beach volleyball, paddleboarding and windsurfing. The beach is also the perfect spot for crabbing, with a wide variety of crabs living in the harbour.

The town of Looe is also home to a number of attractions, including the Looe Museum and Heritage Centre, which houses a collection of artefacts and displays about the history of the town and its people. There is also the popular Monkey Sanctuary, which is home to a variety of different species of primates.

For visitors looking to explore the surrounding area, there are plenty of things to do. There is a selection of stunning walks and cycle routes, with the South West Coast Path passing through the town. There is also the opportunity to go on boat trips and kayaking tours, which are a great way to explore the stunning coastline and take in the sights and sounds of the sea.

Looe is a great place for a holiday or a day out. With its charming streets, beautiful beaches and wealth of attractions, it is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable experience in Cornwall.
