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.

We stayed at fistral beach for surfing lessons.
We stayed at fistral beach for surfing lessons. Beautiful spot. Ate most days at the beach either in fistral bar, stable pizza restaurant or rick stein takeaway. Then walked back along beach to our hotel. Perfect as car stayed in hotel car park on Pentire.

Great town centre with lots going on for all age groups.
Great town centre with lots going on for all age groups. Plenty of parking that's not too expensive (although we went out of season so availability may be different during school holidays) Plenty of places to eat and all the pubs/bars/bistros on the front by the beaches have amazing views out to sea. Lots of activities in the surrounding areas as well. We really enjoyed the Monkey sanctuary!

The restaurant staff were.
The restaurant staff were. Very professional Food was first class No balcony very dissatisfied door opened up to flat roof with rotten wood slats to stand on view was partly obscured by flat roof which was a shame as the view from the rooms above would have been stunning. The entertainment was happening under our room we. We could hear every word the commentator was saying and music was so loud in our room.
