Best Beaches
From golden sand to secret coves, our beaches have it all.

Looe Beach

Many of our visitors come just to enjoy our soft sand and cool off in the clear water on Looe Beach, also known as East Looe Beach. Our favourite time is early morning when you can watch the day getting started from a beach front seat. In just a few minutes you will see swimmers, kayakers and fishing boats amongst those enjoying the calm of the day.
