Filming was spotted on the bridge that connects West Looe and East Looe.
Speaking about visiting Looe, the show's executive producer Tim Key told iNews: “It was a beautiful tourist town, but also a thriving community with fishing businesses, so we felt we had found our home.”

St Germans stands on the River Tiddy, and officially became a market town around 1600.
There are still 16th century almshouses in the village — these houses were founded by charities and offer accommodation for the poor.
The location for the Shipton Abbott Manor House was in fact the Grade 1 listed Port Eliot house in St Germans.
It dates back to the 6th century, and is the oldest most continually lived in house in England.
The Ten Mile Kitchen in the Beyond Paradise was filmed in Port Eliot House and Gardens' stables, according to ShiptonAbbott.com.

West Devon village Bere Alston forms part of the civil parish of Bere Ferrers.
Shots for the Shipton Abbott Boatyard were filmed at the Weir Quay Boatyard in Bere Alston.
Filming took place in August 2022, according to the .
The nearby Tamar Valley is an area of outstanding natural beauty and is on the border between Cornwall and Devon.
At one time, it boasted Europe's biggest mine, and it also has lots of ancient towns.
Where is Beyond Paradise set?
Beyond Paradise is set in the fictional town of Shipton Abbott.
Producer Tim Key said: “We left Humphrey and Martha in the UK and we did talk early doors about whereabouts that might be.
"It was about the DNA of the Death In Paradise universe, and it needed to be somewhere beautiful and somewhere that felt a bit different.
"It needed similarities with Saint Marie, but also its own personality and identity.
"Devon and the South-West just felt like the perfect place.”
