Why Newquay

Newquay is one of Cornwall’s most exciting coastal destinations, and it all begins with its beaches and incredible watersports. With over 10 stunning stretches of sand, including the famous Fistral Beach, it’s a paradise for surfers, paddleboarders, and bodyboarders alike. Consistent Atlantic swells make it the UK’s surfing hotspot, while more sheltered bays are perfect for swimming and family days by the sea.

Beyond the main beaches, there are quieter gems waiting to be explored. Polly Joke (Porth Joke) offers a more secluded, unspoilt feel, while nearby West Pentire is renowned for its breathtaking coastal walks. In early summer, the headland bursts into colour with vibrant poppy fields, creating one of the most iconic and photogenic landscapes in Cornwall.

Food is another reason Newquay stands out. The town has built a reputation for its thriving independent food scene, with plenty of local spots serving everything from fresh seafood to global flavours. The Boathouse is a must-visit for its relaxed street food-style dining right by the harbour, while The Fish House is celebrated for its exceptional, locally sourced seafood dishes. Across town, you’ll find a real emphasis on independent eateries, giving Newquay a unique and creative culinary edge.

There’s no shortage of things to do away from the beach either. Newquay Zoo and the Blue Reef Aquarium are perfect for family-friendly days out, while Lappa Valley offers a charming countryside escape with its miniature railway and outdoor activities. For something different, you can explore the coastline by coasteering, take a sea safari, or simply enjoy the lively atmosphere of the harbour and town centre.

With its mix of adventure, scenery, and great food, Newquay offers something for everyone.
