Exploring Looe Island
Had a great day here, spent 2hrs poking around.
The ironic thing is I've only ever walked to the island on the low tides and never taken a boat there before!
Enjoy the video and there are loads more explores coming soon!
I didn't include everything in this video, so if you want to see more you'll have to go on the trip - it's a really nice day out.

Places to see in ( Looe - UK )
Looe is a small coastal town, fishing port and civil parish in south-east Cornwall, England. Looe is 20 miles (32 km) west of Plymouth and seven miles (11 km) south of Liskeard, divided in two by the River Looe, East Looe and West Looe (meaning Little Cove) being connected by a bridge. Looe developed as two separate towns each with MPs and its own mayor.
The town centres around a small harbour and along the steep-sided valley of the River Looe which flows between East and West Looe to the sea beside a sandy beach. Offshore to the west, opposite the stonier Hannafore Beach, lies Looe Island.
With the Victorian fashion for seaside holidays, Looe evolved as a tourist town, with nearby Talland Bay being dubbed the playground of Plymouth. This trend continued throughout the 20th century; more and more hotels and tourist facilities were built in the town, and Looe grew and prospered, with peaks in fishing and boatbuilding following the First and Second World Wars. Looe remains a fishing town, and retained several fish dealers operating from the quayside of East Looe until the advent of EU regulations. With its fleet of small fishing boats returning their catches to port daily, Looe has a reputation for procuring excellent fresh fish. The town is also a centre for shark fishing, and is the home of the Shark Angling Club of Great Britain.
Nonetheless, Looe's main business today is tourism, with much of the town given over to hotels, guest houses and holiday homes, along with a large number of pubs, restaurants and beach equipment, ice cream and Cornish pasty vendors. Inland from Looe lie many camping and caravan sites, as well as the famous Woolly Monkey Sanctuary. Other local attractions include the beaches, sailing, fishing and diving, and spectacular coastal walks (especially via Talland to Polperro). South East Cornwall boasts several stately homes, including Antony House, Cotehele, Mount Edgcumbe and Lanhydrock House, as well as the Eden Project near St Austell which tourists can access by road. Outside the busy summer months, the town remains a centre for shopping and entertainment for local villagers. Annually in late September, the town is the destination of choice for thousands of music lovers and top name performers for the Looe Music Festival, which takes place in temporary venues around the town, harbour and on East Looe beach.
East Looe centres on its broad sandy beach, with the distinctive Banjo Pier designed by Joseph Thomas, a new lifeboat station and St Mary's Church. Stretching back from the church is a grid of narrow streets forming the main business area of the town, packed with many small shops, restaurants and pubs and the Old Guildhall, now a museum. Along the estuary lies the quay with its fish merchants. Towards Looe Bridge lies the Victorian Guildhall, and just north of the bridge the railway station. This is the terminus of the Looe Valley branch line to Liskeard, where it connects to the Great Western Main Line and services to London Paddington. On the hilltop above East Looe lies Shutta, and beyond that the Sunrising housing estate and Looe Community Academy. Along the cliffs to the east is Plaidy Beach, and further on the bay and village of Millendreath.
West Looe spreads west from the bridge on the Polperro Road towards Sclerder, and along the river south of the bridge, with hotels, restaurants and boarding houses along the waterfront and houses climbing the perilous cliff above, towards a cluster of shops and businesses and the Church of St. Nicholas. Further south along the coast road is Hannafore Point, marking the edge of Looe Harbour, with to the west the wide, stony Hannafore Beach, facing across a narrow channel to Looe Island. Beyond lies the coastal path leading to Portnadler Bay, Talland and Porthallow, and then onward to Polperro. Two towers mark one end of a nautical measured mile, the other end is marked by two towers near Talland Bay.

Both were investigated by TVs Time Team in 2008.There are two wardens who live on the Island and they greet us on the beach.

A five minute personal video accompanied by my friend, Josh Graber's guitar, of a beautiful fishing village. I ended up making so many of these that ended up organizing them properly and sold a few on DVD. We enjoyed living in Cornwall and making these, so decided to share them here.

Looe Island Walk 09-04-2016 - Third Person Camera
Join StreetZips on another trek to Looe Island!
Loads of people turned out again. The wind and low pressure kept the tide high (I was expecting ankle deep).
I used my gyroscopic camera rig again combined with my hand-held SD700.
90% of the audio had to be scrapped due to the wind noise. I'm working on a fix for future videos (any ideas).

Looe, Cornwall, England. Solo Trip
Looe, Cornwall, England. Solo Trip. Looe is a seaside town on the south west coast of England. I jumped in the car, drove 6 hours and went for a whole week on my own. The town is separated by the River Looe which is always busy with fishing boats and pleasure craft. I explored every narrow street and I loved all the old buildings and views from the top. Looe Island is a great trip on a glass bottom boat and there's plenty of wildlife to see.
There's a few different boat trips to choose from. Just go to the harbour on the east side and read the information boards. Sometimes you can just get on the boat as I did, or you can leave your name and tel. number and they'll get back to you. I would recommend Looe for solo travellers because I felt safe walking around and visiting the beach to sunbathe. There's some very nice coastal walks too!
