Boardmasters
Ok, so not exactly IN Looe but too big not to mention. You're only 45 minutes from all the surf beaches on North Cornwall and with that comes all the best festivals and party beaches the UK has to offer. North Cornwall has some of the best surfing beaches in the world which is why 5 day world class head-liner Festival, Surfing & BMX competition, 'Boardmasters' takes place in Watergate bay and, last year welcomed over 150,000 festival goers.

Show casing the best of Cornish produce, all brought together by award winning local restaurants and fisheries. No to be missed!
Looe Island Swim
The Looe Island swim offers unique viewing opportunities and finishes in the heart of Looe, so it’s not just an iconic swim for the competitors; it’s also great for friends, family and other spectators.
Daft Looe Raft Race
Thousands of people line the harbour to watch this, frankly, ridiculous and immensely fun tradition of homemade, themed rafts racing along the estuary.
