Cornwall has to be the premier seaside location in England with miles of coastline stretching around the peninsula. One of the best spots in the entire county has to be the town of Looe. The town is built around the estuary as the water heads out into the sea. The river splits the town into two, with East Looe containing many of its attractions, shops and restaurants and West Looe being more rugged and full of coastal walks. #celebrateit #cornwall #seaside
