Vying for the crown of ‘surf capital of England’, with its eleven beaches, Newquay is one of the places to go and play for everyone who loves surf, sea and sand. But there is plenty to do for everyone whatever the weather and whatever your age… From cobweb busting walks along coastal paths, gorgeous gardens, zoos, aquariums and beautiful houses added to those sweeping bays for adrenaline filled kite surfing, body boarding and sailing. Plus, enjoy bags of indoor activities, all within easy reach of your holiday cottage.
Originally a fishing village famous for its sardines, Newquay’s charming harbour is today a fantastic and exciting coastal destination, perfect for beach side fun and exploring the splendid surrounding countryside.
If playing in the water is your thing then you’ve hit the jackpot! For fishing, angling and pleasure boat trips head for Newquay harbour where you’ll find plenty of choice on the quayside. If it’s the surf you’re after then there are bags of beaches to choose from with surf schools for the novice. For family friendly fun, the award wining Newquay Zoo is definitely worth a visit as is the Blue reef aquarium over looking one of Newquay’s most popular beaches.
Away from the town, enjoy the tranquillity of the Elizabethan Trerice Manor or the famous bio-domes of the Eden project in St Austell. The Lappa Valley Steam railway will also provide a fabulous day out and, for those who enjoy great scenery and great pubs, check out the Rail Ale Trail from Newquay to Par.
