Visit Newquay

Absolutely beautiful beaches and coves. Plenty to do with lots of entertainment, shops, bars. Definitely need your walking shoes on though! Ideal for getting your steps in. Only downside is a lot of the hotels are closed and boarded up which makes the town look a tad scruffy 😔

We moved to Fistal bay for 6 nights after staying in the town and found it beautiful. We found the centre of Newquay quite rundown and dirty. Although we had lovely food in The Griffin Inn. We found the pub atmosphere there good also. The people everywhere in Newquay were very nice and friendly.

There are some nice corners in Newquay. We loved to sit in the Boathouse at the harbor or in the park overlooking Towan beach and the house on the island. There are also some good restaurants and little shops. And you can go on lovely walks along the coast, leaving the city. We stayed at a lovely B&B and met some wonderful people. But to be honest, the city over all doesn't have much charm. A lot of the buildings are ugly and run down. It is definitely not a cute charming seaside town but very touristic and a bit tacky with many arcades that give it a cheap tourist town vibe. We wouldn't stay here again. Padstow was much prettier!

Great for family holidays for beaches plenty of eateries and a large selection of shops We ate at The Central pub and enjoyed the bingo night . Must have a Cornish pastie Some beaches do allow dogs and most have drink food and toilet facilities on the beach

Amazing Town, lots of good places to eat, not much to do with the kids. everyone recommends the aquarium but that looks utterly boring. we ended up walking the beaches which are great at tide out and kids had lots of fun in the water and on the sand. we did not manage to explore the town fully as had trips planned around, like Tintagel and St Michael's Mount. Newquay is a nice town to stay in to reach these sites in the area. a base to which you can come back and rest.

The town centre is dirty and unpleasant with no fine dining experiences, up market shops or smart cafes available Suitable for youngsters and surfers. The Lewinnick Lodge luckily is a half hour walk out of town on a beautiful headland with no noise and great views.
