Seaside town named 'one of the UK's best' for a family staycation

A Cornish seaside town, Looe in South East Cornwall, has been promoted as one of the UK’s best destinations for family staycations. The article says Looe has retained an authentic local character, supported by sandy beaches, a working harbour, and a busy calendar of activities day and night. It highlights the town’s fishing heritage and describes the harbour as still serving local restaurants with fresh fish. Visitors can reach the area easily thanks to a rail station in the town centre. The piece points to family-oriented attractions including The Monkey Sanctuary, East Looe Beach, Talland Bay, and shopping at Seaside Sweets. It also mentions experiences such as a Looe Sea Safari, Boatzer Glass Bottom Boat Trips, and speedboat trips, plus canoeing, kayaking and paddleboarding with Adventure Fit Southwest. The article cites TripAdvisor comments dated May 2025 about East Looe Beach and describes reviews of Talland Beach, while noting Polperro nearby along the South West Coast Path.
