The bustling town of Looe is divided by the ever-changing river that separates quieter West Looe from the absorbing waterfront of East Looe, with its diversity of shops, restaurants and pubs, Banjo pier and sandy beach.
The pace and routine of life in Looe follows the ebb and flow of the tide and the movement of boats returning with their catch of fresh fish. Local boatman can ferry visitors to and from either quay, or alternatively, you can enjoy a pleasant cruise along the beautiful and rugged coastline, keeping an eye out for the schools of dolphins that can often be spotted in the bay.
A guided tour will draw you deeper into the labyrinth of ancient buildings, clustered together in the narrow streets and courtyards that make up the old town of East Looe. Visit the 16th century Old Guildhall museum with its interesting exhibits detailing the town's diverse history, or relax and just while away the hours on the wonderful sandy beach, separated from the river mouth by the Banjo Pier.
The South East Cornish coastline is dotted with lovely beaches, hidden coves, and pretty seaside villages to explore. You can also join the magnificent South West Coast Path to enjoy bracing cliff top walks with spectacular views.
For a different kind of day out, the Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary is just outside Looe, providing vital refuge for primates in need, and a fascinating family activity whilst supporting a great cause.

Award winning dining in the pretty Cornish village of Duloe, offering a warm welcome in a relaxed atmosphere. Serving real ales, fine wines and simple honest cuisine made from the finest seasonal produce from the local area. Relax with a drink outside in the garden enjoying the lovely views across Looe valley, or cosy up in front of the fire.
The Plough, Duloe, Liskeard PL14 4PN (T: 01503 262556)
Who ever the lady was that met myself and grandson in the restaurant was I found to be quite insulting in the way she spoke to and was not very accomadating at all.
August 2021
GREAT VENUE ,LOVELY STAFF AND SUPERB FOOD, HADNT BOOKED,BUT FITTED US IN, HIGHLY RECOMMEND A VISIT EARLY DURING YOUR STAY AS OURS WAS TOWARDS THE END AND WOULD HAVE GONE ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION .
August 2021
Lovely meal. Felt very comfortable even with the Covid restrictions and social distancing. Food and service were excellent.
August 2020
Unfortunately with the restrictions they have put into place,eating out of polystyrene boxes is unacceptable. I would say the way they are operating is unacceptable. You eat there once and don’t go back. You are made to feel like a leper, definitely unclean. This is not the case in other pubs and restaurants nearby.
August 2020
We enjoyed a fabulous meal at the Plough during our stay in Trenant Park Cottages. The menu is good and they offer a good range of specials. The portions are hearty, and the food excellent quality. They are also dog friendly. I would highly recommend.
October 2019
Excellent . Need to book in advance particularly at weekends
September 2019
We deemed this the best meal we had on our recent stay near Looe. Excellent service and delicious hearty food. Comprehensive menu and also a specials board.Can highly recommend the lamb shank and fish pie!

Adrenaline Quarry
(3 miles)
(2)
With the tag line ‘throwing people off cliffs since 2009’, what’s not to love about Adrenaline Quarry? Home of zip wires, coasteering, a giant swing and axe throwing they offer the complete adrenaline experience. Priding themselves on the number of adrenalin junkies, thrill seekers, bold mums and dads, toddlers, grandpas, little boys and girls, and old ladies that flock to South East Cornwall for the chance to fly down a zip wire or power a hovercraft solo around the quarry lake, they like to prove themselves as the place to go for outdoor adventures. Cornwall is home to a wealth of extreme sports and this is a wonderful place to start – they even offer hen and stag parties, or wedding parties for the truly dedicated.
Click here for further details
We loved this place. Great value for money. We did the zip wire and the aqua park. Staff pleasant and helpful too. This place was one of the highlights of our holiday.
August 2022
Highly recommend this as a day out. Our boys did Go Karting followed by the Aqua Park. Staff are so helpful and friendly, everywhere is clean and well organised activities. Dog Friendly, great picnic areas but food there very cheap.
August 2022
Kartworld
(3 miles)
Cornwall’s self-proclaimed ‘top go-karting centre’, Kartworld caters to all ages, with custom tracks and go karts for toddlers, children and adults. If you really want to test your skills, you can even participate in real races! There’s an 800-metre track (plenty of room for overtaking), long, fast, straight sections, and they have an exceptional safety record. You can even print out your lap times to take home. For adults meanwhile, there’s the chance to participate in the grand prix experience. It’s just 45-minutes from Newquay, refreshments and facilities are all available, as well as parking, and prices start at £12 for adults and £8 for children.
The Monkey Sanctuary
(3 miles)
(1)
Not perhaps what you might expect to find in Cornwall, The Monkey Sanctuary is a delightful opportunity to learn about its 36 inhabitants, all of whom have distinct characters and personalities. An active rescue centre dealing with individuals that have often not had a very happy start to life, the priority is always their wellbeing, but it’s also an opportunity for guests to meet them and learn about the organization, explore the gardens and cultivated meadows, shop or relax in the café. There’s also a play area for children, with views of the Cornish coast. The sanctuary is closed on Fridays, but otherwise open from March to September (dates vary from year to year, so keep an eye on the website). Prices start at £8.50 per adult and £5 for children, which entitles you to entry for a whole year.
Great place they do a lot of good work for the monkeys! It’s just sad to hear some of the stories of how they were kept!
June 2018
Looe Valley Railway Line
(3 miles)
(9)
Linking the bustling market town of Liskeard and the picturesque fishing port of Looe, the Looe Valley Railway Line takes you on a journey through an abundance of landscapes from heavily wooded valleys teaming with wildlife to glorious estuary views as the river meets the sea. See the river full of wading birds such as Litte egrets, Grey herons, Oystercatchers and Curlews, before stopping in Looe to explore the beaches, restaurants, shops and pubs. Take a peek at their online journey planner for prices and timetables. Dogs go free (up to two dogs per person).
beautiful line but service not very frequent
August 2022
Brilliant little railway journey. Lovely oldie Worldie station. Beautiful scenery.
July 2022
Easy to book .The train rise itself is OK but mainly through woodland so not much too see apart from trees. The walk from the train station to the town is abit of a walk about 15 minutes .The town its self is ok but seems to be for older people ie the shops are very old fashioned. Personally we would not visit again .
July 2021
Totally brilliant. Loved it
July 2021
Delightful branch line, frequent + reliable service, lovely views of estuary, woodland, bluebells ?!
June 2021
Enjoyed our train ride, but was disappointed in Liskeard, got the next train back.
September 2020
we got a group saver ticket and was very happy with the price, but unfortunately our train was due to leave at 11:10. we were sitting on the train waiting and at approximately 11:40 the driver came from his cab and apologised that the loud speakers were not working and that the train was cancelled, so we had to wait until 12:22 on a very warm train.
September 2019
Lovely little train ride alive the river, worth while. Recommend travelling to Lisgard and getting a return to Looe, much cheaper to park that way!
June 2018
a lovely short train ride through lovely scenery. Liskeard was an interesting little town to potter in for two or three hours
May 2018
Millendreath Beach
(3 miles)
(1)
Millendreath Beach is a south facing beach at the foot of a wooded valley, in a sheltered cove with soft sand and lots of rock pools to explore at low tide. It’s connected to other nearby beaches by the South West Coast Path. Dogs aren’t allowed on this beach at any time of the year, and there is a reasonably sized car park a few minutes walk away. The beach is popular with families on holiday in Cornwall, and most of the surrounding area is occupied by a holiday park, so there are lot of facilities open to the public.
Fantastic beach with wonderful water sports facilities available, loved the sea kayaks!
July 2022
Plaidy Beach
(3 miles)
(1)
A small and pleasant grey sand beach with rocks exposed at low tide, Plaidy Beach is simply a nice place to visit and take in the scenery. There aren’t any facilities, and there’s no parking nearby so it’s one to reach on foot. There’s a slipway to the beach, but you will have to access it by walking along the coast path, parking at Millendreath or Looe and it’s worth keeping in mind that it’s quite steep from both directions. Millendreath is closer and the walk should take around 20 minutes. Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round, so it’s a charming place to take them for a walk while you’re in the area.
Great to walk to at low tide on the beach or at high tide via the footpath. Great dog friendly beach.
August 2018
Hannafore Beach
(3 miles)
(9)
Half a mile west of Looe, stretching along the coast, Hannafore Beach is a sandy, shingle bay with a rocky reef and views of St George’s Island. At low tide it’s brimming with rock pools, making it fun and games for the whole family to enjoy, and it’s a wonderful sun trap in summer months thanks to its south east facing position. Because of its location over the river, the beach never really becomes too busy, but equally there aren’t any facilities nearby. It’s popular with dog walkers as it’s amongst the few dog-friendly beaches in the area, and having explored you can extend your excursion to a stroll along the promenade or a potter around the coast path to the wonderfully scenic Talland Bay. There is roadside parking along the sea front above the beach, but it can be difficult to find a space. Alternatively, there is a large car park in West Looe, around 10 minutes away on foot.
Splendid views and dog accessible
July 2022
The best place to unwind
August 2020
Great for rock pooling
August 2020
Great fun had by our dog 'Moses'
August 2019
Lovely for the dogs!
August 2018
Really nice beach and walk
June 2018
An interesting beach, but beware the incoming tide !
April 2018
Great beach. Good view of looe island. Loads of shells to collect. Lots of dog walkers tho!
August 2017
One of the many dog friendly beaches we visited lovely coastal walks to Talland Bay the nature reserve island is very interesting great refreshments available and not forgetting the free parking available all day which is very useful.
June 2017
Looe Beach
(4 miles)
(20)
In East Looe, the beach sits directly in front of the old town, sheltered by the Banjo Pier and overlooked from the east by the hillside of Mount Ararat. A good family beach that has something for everyone, at low tide the sandy location is safe for swimming although it’s recommended you steer clear of the river mouth beyond the pier. Unfortunately dogs aren’t allowed on this beach at any time of the year, but Hannafore beach in West Looe is dog friendly. The beach backs on to a seafront walkway which runs its length all the way to Second Beach to the east, where it tends to be less busy and it’s good for snorkeling. As it’s in the centre of the town there are lots of facilities and cafes nearby, but in the summer it’s a very popular spot and parking can be tricky, with traffic prohibited during these months, so be prepared for a bit of a walk.
Some days quite busy but great facilities and loads of activities
August 2023
Great, despite the early season seaweed, the tractor cleared it very well.
April 2023
LOVE LOVE LOVE
July 2022
All of the beaches around Looe are worth visiting - and the coastal path is a must. Fuel for the hike? Not listed in the reviews is Sarah’s Pasties which has the best pasties (we ate a lot of pasties during the week!). They were also one of the few eateries in the area which could provide something for someone needing a gluten and dairy free diet. We were able to preorder pasties that met her dietary requirements.
February 2022
Wonderful beach
December 2021
Safe and sandy beach perfect for kids
August 2021
I enjoyed the beach as it is very flat, which is important at 70, and I even had a paddle. The beach was very clean.
July 2021
One of the best beaches I have visited. It is nice and level and I was even able to have a paddle. It was very clean.

You cannot fail to love Looe beach, early morning, during the day or for and evening stroll. A super clean beach.
May 2018
Lovely sandy beach. No dogs allowed but there is a small cove at the far end which allows dogs to enjoy their holiday too with a dip in The English Channel.
May 2018
Looe beach and seafront is cleaned every day (in season?) and looks good. A joy to sit and watch the sea and people passing by.
April 2018
Really good! Good sand and sea. Activities for the kids too. Difficult to get to cos no parking nearby.
August 2017
Lovely beach and even when it was busy didn't feel overcrowded
August 2017
Seaton Beach - Cornwall
(4 miles)
(9)
A spacious, grey sand beach that’s popular with families, Seaton Beach enjoys views across the green, surrounding countryside and walks in Seaton Valley nearby. At low tide the beach stretches all the way from Seaton Beach to Downderry Beach. There are facilities close by and there is are two car parks as well as road parking, but it does get busy quickly in the summer. The beach is great for surfing, but do be wary of undercurrents. There’s also a café and beach shop close by as well. Dogs are welcome at the beach all year round.
Lovely clean beach where we could walk our dog
April 2023
Beautiful beach, safe and accessible for all.
August 2022

Who ever the lady was that met myself and grandson in the restaurant was I found to be quite insulting in the way she spoke to and was not very accomadating at all.
August 2021
GREAT VENUE ,LOVELY STAFF AND SUPERB FOOD, HADNT BOOKED,BUT FITTED US IN, HIGHLY RECOMMEND A VISIT EARLY DURING YOUR STAY AS OURS WAS TOWARDS THE END AND WOULD HAVE GONE ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION .
August 2021
Lovely meal. Felt very comfortable even with the Covid restrictions and social distancing. Food and service were excellent.
August 2020
Unfortunately with the restrictions they have put into place,eating out of polystyrene boxes is unacceptable. I would say the way they are operating is unacceptable. You eat there once and don’t go back. You are made to feel like a leper, definitely unclean. This is not the case in other pubs and restaurants nearby.
August 2020
We enjoyed a fabulous meal at the Plough during our stay in Trenant Park Cottages. The menu is good and they offer a good range of specials. The portions are hearty, and the food excellent quality. They are also dog friendly. I would highly recommend.

Looe Golf Club
(Less than a mile)
While most golf courses claim a degree of outdoor beauty, Looe Golf Course really takes the biscuit, with panoramic views of the peaks of Dartmoor and the Tamar estuary to the east, Looe Island and the channel to the south, and the Cornish moors to the west and north. The club welcomes visitors and has a fully licensed bar and catering facilities as well as free parking, practice putting green and practice net, and a well-equipped Pro Shop all available.

Adrenaline Quarry
(3 miles)
(2)
With the tag line ‘throwing people off cliffs since 2009’, what’s not to love about Adrenaline Quarry? Home of zip wires, coasteering, a giant swing and axe throwing they offer the complete adrenaline experience. Priding themselves on the number of adrenalin junkies, thrill seekers, bold mums and dads, toddlers, grandpas, little boys and girls, and old ladies that flock to South East Cornwall for the chance to fly down a zip wire or power a hovercraft solo around the quarry lake, they like to prove themselves as the place to go for outdoor adventures. Cornwall is home to a wealth of extreme sports and this is a wonderful place to start – they even offer hen and stag parties, or wedding parties for the truly dedicated.

We loved this place. Great value for money. We did the zip wire and the aqua park. Staff pleasant and helpful too. This place was one of the highlights of our holiday.
August 2022
Highly recommend this as a day out. Our boys did Go Karting followed by the Aqua Park. Staff are so helpful and friendly, everywhere is clean and well organised activities. Dog Friendly, great picnic areas but food there very cheap.

Kartworld
(3 miles)
Cornwall’s self-proclaimed ‘top go-karting centre’, Kartworld caters to all ages, with custom tracks and go karts for toddlers, children and adults. If you really want to test your skills, you can even participate in real races! There’s an 800-metre track (plenty of room for overtaking), long, fast, straight sections, and they have an exceptional safety record. You can even print out your lap times to take home. For adults meanwhile, there’s the chance to participate in the grand prix experience. It’s just 45-minutes from Newquay, refreshments and facilities are all available, as well as parking, and prices start at £12 for adults and £8 for children.
The Monkey Sanctuary
(3 miles)
(1)
Not perhaps what you might expect to find in Cornwall, The Monkey Sanctuary is a delightful opportunity to learn about its 36 inhabitants, all of whom have distinct characters and personalities. An active rescue centre dealing with individuals that have often not had a very happy start to life, the priority is always their wellbeing, but it’s also an opportunity for guests to meet them and learn about the organization, explore the gardens and cultivated meadows, shop or relax in the café. There’s also a play area for children, with views of the Cornish coast. The sanctuary is closed on Fridays, but otherwise open from March to September (dates vary from year to year, so keep an eye on the website). Prices start at £8.50 per adult and £5 for children, which entitles you to entry for a whole year.
Great place they do a lot of good work for the monkeys! It’s just sad to hear some of the stories of how they were kept!

Looe Valley Railway Line
(3 miles)
(9)
Linking the bustling market town of Liskeard and the picturesque fishing port of Looe, the Looe Valley Railway Line takes you on a journey through an abundance of landscapes from heavily wooded valleys teaming with wildlife to glorious estuary views as the river meets the sea. See the river full of wading birds such as Litte egrets, Grey herons, Oystercatchers and Curlews, before stopping in Looe to explore the beaches, restaurants, shops and pubs. Take a peek at their online journey planner for prices and timetables. Dogs go free (up to two dogs per person).
beautiful line but service not very frequent
August 2022
Brilliant little railway journey. Lovely oldie Worldie station. Beautiful scenery.
July 2022
Easy to book .The train rise itself is OK but mainly through woodland so not much too see apart from trees. The walk from the train station to the town is abit of a walk about 15 minutes .The town its self is ok but seems to be for older people ie the shops are very old fashioned. Personally we would not visit again .
July 2021
Totally brilliant. Loved it
July 2021
Delightful branch line, frequent + reliable service, lovely views of estuary, woodland, bluebells ?!
June 2021
Enjoyed our train ride, but was disappointed in Liskeard, got the next train back.
September 2020
we got a group saver ticket and was very happy with the price, but unfortunately our train was due to leave at 11:10. we were sitting on the train waiting and at approximately 11:40 the driver came from his cab and apologised that the loud speakers were not working and that the train was cancelled, so we had to wait until 12:22 on a very warm train.
September 2019
Lovely little train ride alive the river, worth while. Recommend travelling to Lisgard and getting a return to Looe, much cheaper to park that way!
June 2018
a lovely short train ride through lovely scenery. Liskeard was an interesting little town to potter in for two or three hours

Millendreath Beach
(3 miles)
(1)
Millendreath Beach is a south facing beach at the foot of a wooded valley, in a sheltered cove with soft sand and lots of rock pools to explore at low tide. It’s connected to other nearby beaches by the South West Coast Path. Dogs aren’t allowed on this beach at any time of the year, and there is a reasonably sized car park a few minutes walk away. The beach is popular with families on holiday in Cornwall, and most of the surrounding area is occupied by a holiday park, so there are lot of facilities open to the public.
Fantastic beach with wonderful water sports facilities available, loved the sea kayaks!
July 2022
Plaidy Beach
(3 miles)
(1)
A small and pleasant grey sand beach with rocks exposed at low tide, Plaidy Beach is simply a nice place to visit and take in the scenery. There aren’t any facilities, and there’s no parking nearby so it’s one to reach on foot. There’s a slipway to the beach, but you will have to access it by walking along the coast path, parking at Millendreath or Looe and it’s worth keeping in mind that it’s quite steep from both directions. Millendreath is closer and the walk should take around 20 minutes. Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round, so it’s a charming place to take them for a walk while you’re in the area.
Great to walk to at low tide on the beach or at high tide via the footpath. Great dog friendly beach.
August 2018
Hannafore Beach
(3 miles)
(9)
Half a mile west of Looe, stretching along the coast, Hannafore Beach is a sandy, shingle bay with a rocky reef and views of St George’s Island. At low tide it’s brimming with rock pools, making it fun and games for the whole family to enjoy, and it’s a wonderful sun trap in summer months thanks to its south east facing position. Because of its location over the river, the beach never really becomes too busy, but equally there aren’t any facilities nearby. It’s popular with dog walkers as it’s amongst the few dog-friendly beaches in the area, and having explored you can extend your excursion to a stroll along the promenade or a potter around the coast path to the wonderfully scenic Talland Bay. There is roadside parking along the sea front above the beach, but it can be difficult to find a space. Alternatively, there is a large car park in West Looe, around 10 minutes away on foot.
Splendid views and dog accessible
July 2022
The best place to unwind
August 2020

June 2017
Looe Beach
(4 miles)
(20)
In East Looe, the beach sits directly in front of the old town, sheltered by the Banjo Pier and overlooked from the east by the hillside of Mount Ararat. A good family beach that has something for everyone, at low tide the sandy location is safe for swimming although it’s recommended you steer clear of the river mouth beyond the pier. Unfortunately dogs aren’t allowed on this beach at any time of the year, but Hannafore beach in West Looe is dog friendly. The beach backs on to a seafront walkway which runs its length all the way to Second Beach to the east, where it tends to be less busy and it’s good for snorkeling. As it’s in the centre of the town there are lots of facilities and cafes nearby, but in the summer it’s a very popular spot and parking can be tricky, with traffic prohibited during these months, so be prepared for a bit of a walk.
Some days quite busy but great facilities and loads of activities
August 2023
Great, despite the early season seaweed, the tractor cleared it very well.
April 2023
LOVE LOVE LOVE
July 2022
All of the beaches around Looe are worth visiting - and the coastal path is a must. Fuel for the hike? Not listed in the reviews is Sarah’s Pasties which has the best pasties (we ate a lot of pasties during the week!). They were also one of the few eateries in the area which could provide something for someone needing a gluten and dairy free diet. We were able to preorder pasties that met her dietary requirements.

Wonderful beach
December 2021
Safe and sandy beach perfect for kids

Lovely sandy beach. No dogs allowed but there is a small cove at the far end which allows dogs to enjoy their holiday too with a dip in The English Channel.
May 2018
Looe beach and seafront is cleaned every day (in season?) and looks good. A joy to sit and watch the sea and people passing by.
April 2018

August 2017
Lovely beach and even when it was busy didn't feel overcrowded

Seaton Beach - Cornwall
(4 miles)
(9)
A spacious, grey sand beach that’s popular with families, Seaton Beach enjoys views across the green, surrounding countryside and walks in Seaton Valley nearby. At low tide the beach stretches all the way from Seaton Beach to Downderry Beach. There are facilities close by and there is are two car parks as well as road parking, but it does get busy quickly in the summer. The beach is great for surfing, but do be wary of undercurrents. There’s also a café and beach shop close by as well. Dogs are welcome at the beach all year round.
Lovely clean beach where we could walk our dog
April 2023
Beautiful beach, safe and accessible for all.
