About East Looe Beach

East Looe Beach sits at the mouth of Looe's busy fishing harbour, next to the Banjo Pier. Harbour towns like this are classic sea glass spots, and both a Cornish guide and a visitor report name it.

One visitor found many pieces in under an hour: mint green, dark green, brown and white, plus one orange piece.

Visiting East Looe Beach

Safety
Check the tide times before you go and head out on a falling tide, so you're never cut off. Keep away from the bottom of cliffs, wear sturdy shoes on rocks, and only take sea glass and other man-made rubbish: pebbles, sand and shells should stay on the beach.
