Surfer Days and Steamy Nights
Newquay has that laidback feel that goes hand in hand with being England’s undisputed surfing capital. The centre of the action is Fistral Beach whose swells and Cribbar Reef produce some of the largest breakers in the British Isles. The long, sandy beach is backed by tall dunes which give way to Newquay Golf Club.
Great Western Beach lies below sheer cliffs one street from the train station, while Towan Beach by the picturesque harbour is the closest to the town centre. Tolcarne Beach is sheltered in its own bay, as is the wide stretch of sand at Porth Beach whose northern coastline is 2 rocky headlands joined by a narrow footbridge over the sea.
Each beach is overlooked by luxury hotels with spas, cheap hostels and self-catering apartments on Booking.com. All are surrounded by Newquay’s restaurants, bars and clubs which offer the best nightlife this side of Bristol.
More leisurely pursuits include Trerice manor house in the countryside near the Lappa Valley Steam Railway. Buccaneer Bay and the Blue Reef Aquarium are popular with families, as are Waterworld and Newquay Zoo within Trenance Gardens.
Another favoured spot for a walk are the salt marshes by the River Gannel which is a prominent sight as you descend into Newquay Cornwall Airport.

It's a eclectic mix of sea side shops, pasty shops & some upmarket boutiques. It caters for all tastes when eating out, some lovely hidden fish restaurants (the boathouse) and also family dinning & takeaways.

I wanted to visit a lot of places ,we even saw them filming Poldark in Charlestown which is a lovely place to visit and Padstow to have fish and chips at Rick Stein's place and over to Port Isaac to see where they film Doc Martin . Cornwall is so lovely lots of lovely villages to stop and have a bit to eat or just walk along the cliffs. Beautiful place to visit .

Something for everyone and as always you may need to avoid areas you don't like but for us after approx 25 visits it just fits our bill. Surfing , bodyboard , decent walks , restaurants ..........would recommend giving it a try!

“Lovely hotel with amazing views of the beach. We upgraded our room on the final night which I would definitely recommend as the sea view was incredible and made it really special! Great breakfast and lovely staff. Best hotel in Newquay!”
“We loved the view from our room which had a balcony overlooking Newquay. We were really impressed with the level of service with us being shown around the hotel personally and to our room. The breakfast was great and looked over Newquay. This is a great value for money hotel. It was quite steep walk up with our large bags to the room but boy it was worth it. Newquay is a vibrant town and great to stay in.”
