The towns of East and West Looe are joined by a 19th century seven arched bridge spanning the Looe River. East Looe is a maze of narrow streets with many historic buildings including the medieval Guildhall, now a museum. Looe also has the second largest fishing fleet in Cornwall. In the 18th century Looe was a copper port exporting ore from the Caradon Mills on Bodmin Moor.
There are many sea trips starting from the harbour ranging from deep sea fishing to leisurely cruises to Fowey and Mevagissey, both nearby picturesque fishing ports. You can go for a trip round Looe Bay and St. Georges Island in a speedboat or a take a trip in a real Cornish lugger. These leave the quay several times a week and include a good lunch. There are also various fishing trips one can take - both short and long. For the keen enthusiast there is shark fishing with the Shark Angling Club.
Looe also has a very active divng school running PADI diving courses to suit all, from beginners to highest instructor standard.
