Your next place to explore

Discover Newquay

Newquay mixes Atlantic surf, sandy coves and an energetic town centre. It suits a holiday where a beach morning can turn into a harbour wander, a family attraction visit or a quiet hour in the gardens.

Choose beaches around the conditions and your party’s experience. Fistral has a different atmosphere from the town beaches; inland Trenance offers a useful change of pace when you want greenery rather than another surf lesson.

Start exploring

Three ways to discover Newquay

Choose a starting point, then take the day at your own pace.

Surf coast

Fistral Beach

Watch the surf or book tuition with a suitable provider. Check beach flags and conditions on the day; a familiar beach can feel very different as weather changes.

Harbour time

Newquay Harbour

Wander around the harbour and look for boat-trip options if conditions allow. Check departure points, cancellation arrangements and suitability directly with the operator.

Slow afternoons

Trenance Gardens

Take a quieter break around the gardens and lake. It is a good counterpoint to the busy seafront when different members of the party want different things.

Little explorers welcome

Make memories with the family

Newquay Zoo

Plan a wildlife-focused family outing at Trenance. Check current opening and accessibility information, and dress for an attraction with outdoor areas.

Out in the open

A breath of fresh air

Porth and coastal paths

Explore the Porth area or choose a short section of coastal path. Plan the return journey before setting off; cliff-top routes are not level promenade walks.

Keep a plan B

When the weather turns

Blue Reef Aquarium

Look into a marine-life visit at the town aquarium when the weather changes. Confirm its current programme and admission with the operator.

Local flavours

Good food, no rush

Food & drink in Newquay

The harbour and town centre give you a choice of seafood, cafés and casual meals. A Cornish pasty is a practical picnic option between beaches.

A little less obvious

The Killacourt

Pause on this central green space above the sea. It gives you a different viewpoint on Newquay without committing to a longer coastal walk.

Stay a little longer

There’s more around the corner

Bude — Summerleaze Beach and Bude Haven

Bude

Bude has the ingredients for a relaxed north Cornwall holiday: a tidal sea pool, surf beaches and a canal that offers a quieter alternative to the Atlantic shore. It is an easy place to mix active days with slower ones.

St Ives — St Ives Cornwall Harbour promenade

St Ives

St Ives brings sandy beaches and a working-harbour setting together with one of Cornwall’s strongest art traditions. Small streets, galleries and changing light make it a place to explore slowly rather than rush between sights.

Dartmoor — DARTMOOR HAYTOR 05

Dartmoor

Granite tors, open moor and wooded river valleys make Dartmoor a dramatic change from Devon’s coast. Its villages and visitor centres also offer a gentler way into the landscape than a demanding cross-moor walk.

A little planning goes a long way

Good to know before you go

Planning your visit

Book surf tuition appropriate to the group and follow local flags. Check the final route from your caravan park to the beach instead of assuming every Newquay listing is walkable.

Official visitor information (opens in a new tab)
Access, opening & seasonal changes

Check current attraction opening, detailed accessibility information and local restrictions for your dates. Ask the operator about any particular needs before booking rather than relying on a general destination description.
