Looe is a small coastal community, angling port as well as civil parish in south-east Cornwall, England, with a population of 5,280 at the 2011 census. Looe is 20 miles (32 km) west of Plymouth as well as 7 miles (11 km) south of Liskeard, divided in two by the River Looe, East Looe and also West Looe being linked by a bridge. Looe created as two different towns each with MPs as well as its very own mayor. The town centres around a tiny harbour as well as along the steep-sided valley of the River Looe which flows in between East as well as West Looe to the sea next to a sandy coastline. Offshore to the west, opposite the stonier Hannafore Beach, exists Looe Island. Looe continues to be an angling community, and also retained numerous fish dealers operating from the East Looe quayside until the advent of EU guidelines. With its fleet of little fishing watercrafts returning their catches to port daily, Looe has a track record for obtaining superb fresh fish. The town is also a centre for shark fishing, and is house to the Shark Angling Club of Great Britain. Nonetheless, Looe's major business today is tourism, with much of the community given over to hotels, bed and breakfast and holiday homes, along with a multitude of pubs, dining establishments as well as coastline devices, gelato as well as Cornish pasty vendors.
