Looe
- Administrative Port: Plymouth
- County: Cornwall
- Population: 5000
Looe is a small coastal town and busy fishing port in south-east Cornwall, England. Looe is divided in two by the River Looe, with East Looe and West Looe being connected by a bridge. The town is situated around a small harbour and along the steep-sided valley of the River Looe which flows between East and West Looe to the seabeside a sandy beach. Off shore to the west, opposite the stonier Hannafore beach, lies the picturesque St George's Island, commonly known as Looe Island. While Looe remains a fishing town, its main business is from tourism with much of the town occupied by hotels, guest houses and holiday homes.
