The Loe was originally the estuary of the River Cober which flows through the former port of Helston, two miles inland. The Bar is thought to have formed during the thirteenth century, cutting off Helston's access to the sea.Fact|date=September 2007 To prevent flooding in parts of Helston, the Bar has occasionally been breached, a practice known locally as "cutting". However, it has always naturally resealed itself.Fact|date=September 2007

The Loe is reputed to be the lake in which Sir Bedivere cast King Arthur's sword, Excalibur.Fact|date=September 2007 Local superstition also warns that the Loe claims a victim every seven years.Fact|date=September 2007
