Perched on the rugged Atlantic coast of North Cornwall, Newquay is unlike anywhere else in the British Isles. It is a town of magnificent contradictions — wild, windswept cliff tops towering above powder-white beaches where world-class surfers carve the Atlantic swells; buzzing beach bars and Michelin-listed restaurants sitting shoulder to shoulder with traditional Cornish pasty shops; a family holiday destination beloved for generations that also doubles as the UK's undisputed surfing and festival capital.
With seven beaches stretching along its dramatic coastline, Newquay offers something for every kind of visitor. Sun-seekers spread towels on the vast sands of Fistral and Watergate Bay. Adrenaline hunters chase six-foot waves or leap from coasteering platforms. Music lovers descend every August for Boardmasters, one of the UK's most beloved summer festivals. Foodies make pilgrimages to Michelin-listed restaurants perched on cliffs above the crashing sea.
This guide covers everything you need to know — from the best surf spots and hidden coves, to restaurants serving freshly landed lobster, the finest accommodation for every budget, music events and festivals, family attractions, and unforgettable day trips to the extraordinary Cornish coastline that surrounds Newquay on all sides.
💬
"I honestly didn't expect Newquay to be this incredible. The food, the beaches, the sunsets — it blew every expectation out of the water. We'll be back every summer."
— Ellie, visitor from Manchester
