Loe


Loe (not to be confused with Looe further east) is a small shingle beach in the Carrick Roads, the stretch of sheltered water on the south coast that forms a beautiful natural deep harbour, perfect for all sorts of water activities, and into which five (?) rivers flow.
Loe is not great for walking, sitting around or beachcombing, but it is a great place from which to launch your canoe or dinghy, and in season the water off here is littered with small craft swinging from their moorings. But today you can enjoy the calm view of the Carrick Roads, with glimpses of the open sea beyond in the gap between the Falmouth coast on the right and the Roseland peninsula on the left.
