5 Best Activities In Looe
Everything listed in Looe happens outside. Three of the five family attractions are beaches — Polperro Beach, Talland Bay Beach and Millendreath Beach — and the remaining two, Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary and Looe Mystery Treasure Trail, are open-air as well.
That makes this a forecast town, and pretending otherwise helps nobody. Given a settled day it is a hard place to beat and you will not need any of the planning that a city day demands. Given a wet one, the honest answer is that the good options are elsewhere.

Five attractions, every one of them decided by the sky. Check the week ahead, pick your day, and Looe repays it. The list is short but it is the sort of short list that people come back to.
Visiting Looe with kids: FAQs
What can you do in Looe if it rains?
Very little that is indoors, and it would be misleading to suggest otherwise — none of the five attractions we list here is a covered one. If you are staying put, Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary at least gives the day a focus, and a beach in light drizzle with the right coats bothers adults far more than it bothers children.
What is there in Looe besides the beaches?
Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary is the main alternative and the one that makes the trip feel like a proper day out rather than a stretch of sand. Looe Mystery Treasure Trail is the other, a self-guided walk that hands older children something to solve instead of a stretch of sand to sit on.
Does Looe suit older children as well as small ones?
It does, though for different reasons. Small children get three beaches and a lot of freedom. Older ones usually prefer Looe Mystery Treasure Trail, since the route becomes theirs to work out, and Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary, which holds up better than sand for anyone who has stopped wanting to dig holes.
