Looe Harbour is a picturesque natural harbor on the south coast of Cornwall, England, where the East and West Looe rivers meet the English Channel. The town is divided into East Looe and West Looe, linked by a historic seven-arched bridge dating back to medieval times. Traditionally a fishing port, the harbor remains active with small fishing boats, pleasure craft, and coastal excursion vessels. Its sheltered waters have supported maritime trade and fishing for centuries, shaping Looe's history and identity. Today the harbor is the lively heart of the town, lined with quays, cafés, and steep narrow streets. Framed by coastal cliffs and sandy beaches, Looe Harbour also serves as a gateway to Looe Island and the South West Coast Path.

East Looe Beach

The webcam looks out over East Looe Beach and the heart of Looe town, giving a wide view of the sandy shoreline, harbour entrance, and the curve of the bay. It captures daily life as fishing boats and leisure craft move in and out with the changing tides. Behind the beach, you can clearly see the compact townscape with its waterfront buildings and narrow streets. The view is especially atmospheric as the tide rises and falls, reshaping the beach throughout the day. On busy days, the camera shows the contrast between calm coastal mornings and lively afternoons filled with visitors. It's an ideal way to experience Looe's seaside character and harbour activity in real time.
