Some of the region's finest food and drink was enjoyed at the water's edge during a popular annual event in Cornwall.
Hundreds of people descended upon the Festival by the Sea during a fine sunny weekend in Looe.
And they watched on beneath almost cloudless skies as dozens of amateur boats took to the sea for the town's raft race, now in its 15th year.
Organised by the Looe Boat Owners' Association to raise money for the RNLI, the event saw some 34 unusual rafts splashing about on the sea.
Organiser Dave Peat said: "It was a perfect day with heaven-sent weather and loads of people.
"The town was full of tourists after being bereft of people lately due to the road closure.
"The atmosphere was fantastic as a staggering number of people supported beside the water and from their balconies."
It was hoped the event would raise £2,000 for the RNLI.
People were also able to enjoy locally-sourced seafood as they watched the race.
Westcountry foodies were spoilt for choice as another large event took place in a Devon town.
The inaugural Ottery St Mary Food and Families Festival took place on Friday and Saturday with an abundance of local produce available for people to sample.
A 'fish-dancing' competition was one of the highlights during the community-run event as the town was transformed for the two days. Local chefs showcased some of the best of their food during cookery demonstrations in a pop-up food tent.
Hamish Spence, who attended the event, posted on Facebook: "The festival was a very successful and entertaining afternoon enjoyed by many on a very warm, sunny day."
A food and drink street market ran through the town, while there was a cookery theatre, live music, beer tent, children's competitions and plenty of other stalls.
