The town centres around a small harbour and along the steep-sided valley of the River Looe which flows between East and West Looe to the sea beside a sandy beach. Offshore to the west, opposite the stonier Hannafore Beach, lies Looe Island .

With its wide sandy beach, ‘banjo’ pier, harbour & island, the twin-towns of East & West Looe has been a favourite with visitors to Cornwall for centuries.
