Boasting some of the best beaches and surfing in Britain, Newquay is one of Cornwalls premier holiday sites. Unsurprisingly, it has now obtained a reputation for being Englands surfing capital but there’s much more to Newquay than being just a surfers paradise.
Beach lovers will want to head to Fistral Beach – this is in fact the best known surfing beach offering fast, hollow waves for surfers. Another popular beach in Newquay is Watergate Bay although this beach is more suited to beginner surfers. Beginners may also want to try Crantock Beach as it is sheltered. There are numerous places in Newquay to hire surfing equipment and surf schools are also available for those who come only to ride the waves.
Food & Drink In Newquay
As you would expect, Newquay offers a wide variety of cuisine options for just about every pallet. Local specialities include cream teas & Cornish pasties offered by the many tea rooms & bakeries. Cornish ice-cream is also very rich and creamy to taste. Newquay is also well known for it’s seafood and has a huge range of international cuisine restaurants from Indian and Chinese to Mexican and Italian. One things for sure, when your visit to Newquay is over you’ll probably have to start a strict diet!
The Blue Reef Aquarium
If you’re interested in tropical marine life then a visit to the Newquay Blue Reef Aquarium is a must – one of the highlights is a fascinating underwater tunnel that visitors can walk through while witnessing the marine animals swim around in their natural habitats.

Golf lovers will enjoy the scenic course overlooking Fistral Beach. Aside from the Blue Reef Aquarium, Newquay also has a good zoo containing a wide varierty of animals over 10 acres of land.

Also popular (especially with children) is Newquay Water World – containing a tropical pool, simulation waterfall & volcanos and even state of the art gym facilities for adults. Looking for something a little different? Try the Tunnels Through Time museum (a very novel way of looking at and learning about the past).
Fishing – this is one of the most popular activities in England – at Newquay there are some excellent opportunities for a wide range of fishing from fly-fishing to deep sea fishing.
Close to Newquay is the town of Bodmin – once the capital of Cornwall, it’s now an elegant little market town well worth a visit.
