The pace and routine of life in Looe follows the ebb and flow of the tide and the movement of boats returning with their catch of fresh fish.

For a different kind of day out, the Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary is just outside Looe, providing vital refuge for primates in need, and a fascinating family activity whilst supporting a great cause.
