Holidays in Newquay

Newquay offers an unforgettable experience with its dramatic coastline, charming beaches, and vibrant town life. Known as the UK’s surfing capital, this bustling coastal town has become a destination for adventure seekers, families, and anyone who wants to experience the unique beauty of Cornwall. Whether you’re drawn by the surf or looking for a more laid-back retreat, Newquay has something to enchant every visitor.

Beaches Galore!

Fistral Beach – World-famous for its consistent swell, draws surfers from across the globe. Has an incredible beach complex for eating, shopping and watching the sunset! You’ll find fine dining at the Fish House, pizza at The Stable, legendary fish & chips at Rick Stein’s as well casual dining at the Fistral Beach Bar – it’s all here!

Newquay Harbour Beach – With a fabulous beach bar in the form of The Boathouse (serving up incredible street food year-round!) Newquay Harbour Beach is an incredible spot to sit and watch the fishing boats come and go as you soak in the traditional Cornish atmosphere.

Towan, Great Western, Tolcarne & Lusty Glaze Beaches – All these beaches run parallel, in that order, from the harbour and all the way along the length of Newquay town. They offer a vast stretch of sand for walking along the shoreline at low tide, and hold their own individual charms for relaxed beach days when the tide comes in.

Crantock Beach – For those seeking quieter sands, Crantock Beach’s sand dunes and serene setting make it a family favorite. The River Gannel estuary finds its way back to the sea on Crantock Beach, and provides a wonderful place to walk, explore and watch the wildlife.

Watergate Bay – A two-mile stretch of golden sand framed by towering cliffs. Just three miles from Newquay, this iconic North Cornish beach is great for surfers, kite surfers and those who love wild, dramatic coastlines. Open to dogs year-round, it’s perfect for a long walk, too.

Porth Beach – Porth Beach is a beautiful spot just on the edge of Newquay. Sheltered by two headlands, it’s great for swimming, paddling, and soaking up the sun. Nearby, Porth Island offers a scenic walk and plenty of history to discover. Dogs are welcome most of the year with a few summer restrictions. The Mermaid Pub is a fantastic family friendly spot to refresh after a day on the sand!

Coasteering – For the adventurous, coasteering takes you on a guided journey along Newquay’s rugged coastline. Experience rock scrambling, cliff jumping, and swimming through hidden sea caves, it’s the ultimate way to explore Cornwall’s dramatic coast from a whole new perspective!

Paddleboarding – Enjoy a tranquil day on the water with paddleboarding. You can rent a board from many of Newquay’s beaches or take a lesson to get started.  We recommend heading to the River Gannel Estuary for this one!

Kayaking – For a relaxed sea adventure, head out in a kayak to explore Newquay’s coast. Paddle through the clear waters, discover rocky inlets, and maybe even spot some local wildlife, like seals and dolphins.

If you want expert guides for any of the above activities, get in contact with the friendly team at Newquay Activity Centre, they’re always happy to help get you out having fun in the water!
