West LooeLooe

Yes. Hannafore Beach is on the edge of West Looe, beyond Hannafore Point. It faces south east and is mainly shingle, with some sandy stretches and rock pools at low tide. There are toilets nearby, but no lifeguards, and dogs are welcome all year.

Visits are only possible on official organised trips. Boats run by Looe Sea Safari leave from the floating pontoon near the RNLI lifeboat station slipway in East Looe, and the crossing takes about 20 minutes. You usually get about two hours on the island, and trips run from the end of March to the end of October, depending on tide and weather.

No. Cornwall Wildlife Trust does not allow dogs on the Looe Island nature reserve. Drones and fishing are not allowed during visits either. Paths on the island include steps and steep, uneven sections, so sturdy footwear is advised.

The Jolly Sailor Inn on Princes Square is in West Looe and CAMRA lists it as open. It is claimed to be Looe's oldest pub, with low beams, stone and slate floors and a nautical theme. The building is Grade II listed and dates from the 16th or 17th century.

Millpool, PL13 2AF, is a Cornwall Council long stay car park with 964 spaces and electric vehicle charging points. Kilminorth Woods car park is also in West Looe. At Hannafore there is limited free roadside parking, with the larger car park about a 10 minute walk away.

Looe station is the end of the Looe Valley branch line from Liskeard, run by GWR, and sits on the East Looe side just north of Looe Bridge. It has step free access. Buses stop in West Looe and run to Liskeard, Polperro and Plymouth.
