Holiday parks near Looe and Polperro are spread across the south east Cornwall coast, with family caravan parks, countryside lodge parks and coastal holiday parks close to beaches, harbour towns and walking routes along the Cornish coastline. The main choice is usually between a busier family holiday park near Looe Bay, a coastal park around Talland Bay and Polperro, or a quieter lodge and caravan site in the Cornish countryside around Pelynt and Liskeard, view more parks for caravan holidays in Cornwall here.

Looe itself is a compact working harbour town split between East Looe and West Looe, with the sandy beach, quay, Banjo Pier, shops and restaurants all close together. That makes it a strong choice for caravan holidays in Looe if you want a proper south Cornwall seaside stay, but it is worth checking the park setting carefully because some routes into town are steep or easier by car, bus or taxi.

For family holiday parks in Looe, look closely at pools, entertainment, children’s facilities and access to East Looe Beach. For quieter caravan holidays, Talland Bay, Polperro and the countryside behind the coast usually give more space, smaller lanes and better access to walking routes. Touring caravan parks and caravan sites around Looe are also worth comparing separately, as not every holiday park listed around the town accepts tourers.

Things to Do and Places to Visit Near Looe

Looe is strongest for visitors who want harbour life, short coastal trips and easy days around the south Cornwall coast. East Looe Beach is the simplest family beach day because it sits beside the town, while Hannafore gives views across to Looe Island and works better for rock pooling and quieter walks.

Polperro is the key nearby village for most visitors staying in Looe holiday parks, especially if the park is around Talland Bay or Pelynt. Talland Bay sits between the two and is useful for a smaller beach stop, while the South West Coast Path links the coast in both directions. The Looe Valley Line to Liskeard adds another practical option if you want a car free trip inland.

Boat trips run from the harbour and allow visitors to explore the coastline from the water or travel out to Looe Island, a small wildlife sanctuary located just offshore. The island is known for its seabirds and marine wildlife and forms part of the scenic coastline that surrounds the town.

Just along the coast lies the traditional fishing village of Polperro, famous for its narrow streets, small harbour and hillside cottages overlooking the sea.  The coastal path between Looe and Polperro is one of the most scenic walking routes in Cornwall and passes rugged cliffs, hidden coves and quiet beaches.

Visitors can also travel inland along the Looe Valley Line railway which connects the town to Liskeard and the surrounding countryside. With harbour views, coastal walks and nearby fishing villages to explore, Looe provides a classic Cornish seaside setting for visitors discovering this part of the county.

Looe Holiday Parks – FAQs

Why do people choose Looe over other Cornwall seaside towns?

Looe offers something most Cornwall resorts don’t — a proper working harbour right in the middle of the town. Fishing boats still land catches daily, and you’ll see activity on the water throughout the day. The town is split between East and West Looe, connected by a bridge, which gives it a completely different layout to places like Newquay or Bude. It feels busy and popular, but still very traditional.

What are the best things to actually do in Looe?

Most time in Looe is spent around the harbour and beach. Walk along the quay, watch the fishing boats come in, or take a boat trip out into the bay. East Looe Beach is right next to the town, so you can move between beach and shops easily. The Banjo Pier is a key spot for views across the bay, especially in the evening. Coastal walks towards Talland Bay are also popular straight from the town.

Where are the best places to eat and drink in Looe?

Looe has a strong food scene focused around the harbour. The Sardine Factory is one of the best-known restaurants, specialising in fresh seafood. Smugglers Cott offers a more traditional setting, while Papa Nino serves good Italian food right by the water. For pubs, The Jolly Sailor in West Looe is a favourite, along with The Ship Inn and The Old Sail Loft, both overlooking the harbour. Most of the best places are within a short walk of each other.

What is Looe beach like and is it good for families?

East Looe Beach is a sandy, sheltered beach located right in the town, which makes it very easy for families. It is not a huge beach like those on the north coast, but its location is what makes it work. You can walk straight from the beach into cafés, shops and restaurants without needing to travel. The sheltered setting also makes it calmer than many exposed beaches.

What are the best nearby places to visit from Looe?

Polperro is the standout nearby location, just a short drive away, known for its narrow streets and coastal views. Talland Bay sits between Looe and Polperro and is ideal for a quieter beach stop. Fowey is another good option, offering a slightly more upmarket harbour town feel. Inland, Liskeard gives access to Bodmin Moor if you want to mix coast with countryside.

Are there holiday parks, caravan parks and caravan sites near Looe?

Yes. Looe has a mix of family holiday parks, caravan parks, lodge stays and touring sites, but many are just outside the town rather than beside the harbour. Looe Bay, Talland Bay, Polperro, Pelynt and the road towards Liskeard are the main areas to compare. Check the setting carefully because some parks suit pool and entertainment breaks, while others work better for quieter caravan holidays or touring pitches.

What makes Looe feel different when you’re actually there?

Looe feels busy but compact, with everything centred around the harbour. You’ll notice the mix of visitors, locals and working boats all in one place, which gives it a more authentic feel than purely tourist-built resorts. The narrow streets, constant movement on the water and close proximity of everything make it feel lively without being overwhelming.

Can you walk anywhere interesting from Looe?

Yes, one of the best walks is from Looe to Talland Bay along the South West Coast Path. It’s a manageable route with great coastal views and a good stopping point at Talland Bay Beach Café. From there, you can continue on towards Polperro if you want a longer walk. The harbour and Banjo Pier are also simple walking routes within the town itself.

Is Looe a good choice if you want a proper Cornish seaside experience?

Yes, Looe is one of the best places in Cornwall for a traditional seaside holiday with character. It combines a sandy beach, a working harbour, good places to eat and easy access to nearby coastal villages. It feels more like a real town than a resort, which is why many people return year after year.
