Newquay at a Glance
About Newquay
Newquay is a vibrant seaside town in Cornwall, known for its laid-back surfer vibe and stunning beaches. The iconic Fistral Beach is a must-visit, where you can watch surfers ride the waves, and the nearby Watergate Bay offers beautiful sunsets and scenic coastal walks. One unique thing travellers love about Newquay is the opportunity to try a traditional Cornish pasty from a local bakery.
The best time to visit Newquay is during the summer months (June to August) when the weather is warm and sunny, and the surf conditions are perfect. For first-timers, we recommend booking a surf lesson with a reputable school, such as the National Surf Centre, to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
