The quay area of East Looe is always bustling with maritime activity because Looe is Cornwall's second largest fishing port; it is connected to the quieter West Looe by a seven-arched bridge built in the 19th century across the River Looe. In addition to walking, you can take the river taxi from East Looe to West Looe. While West Looe boasts a beautiful view across the harbour, East Looe is known for its winding lanes, cobblestone streets, and abundance of tourist shops. From the quay, you can make your way to Banjo Pier, a fantastic vantage point for watching the returning fishing trawlers and for gazing across the bay toward Looe Island, which is sometimes accessible by foot during low tides. Looe Beach, which is adjacent to the pier, is a popular destination for families due to its wide expanse of sand and shallow water. Children will also enjoy the fantastic rock pool area at Hannafore. The charming Kilminorth Woods have way marked walks through the majestic oak wood, rich in plant, insect, and bird life, and the West Looe Heritage Centre, with a climbing wall and a cafe, recently opened in the Old Sardine Factory. This area of south east Cornwall is known for its beaches, but it is also home to a number of World Heritage–listed sites, including the Bodmin Moor and Tamar Valley mining landscapes. Writers like Daphne du Maurier have found inspiration in this part of Cornwall, and much of Bodmin Moor features prominently in King Arthur myths. This scenic area of Cornwall is rich with discovery opportunities.
