Luxury self-catering accommodation in Newquay
Surfers flock to this strip of glittering gold halfway down the north Cornwall coast for its rolling waves and bustling town, trying out the breakers and walking the cliffs by day, and enjoying the busy centre at night.
World-class surf draws ocean-lovers to this beachside town, embodying true seaside charm throughout the decades. For years, sun-worshippers have flocked to the blue waters and golden dunes for sunkissed holidays, more so since Newquay Airport began flying guests in. Armed with buckets, spades and deckchairs, opt for iconic Fistral Beach in the summer months, popping into town for local ice cream, handmade pasties and sweet sundowners on sunny terraces. For those seeking a break from the bustle of town, there are plenty of beauty spots to explore along the neighbouring coastal pathways.
Scramblers can tackle the descent down to Bedruthan Steps Beach, just north of Newquay, where giant granite rocks rise from the waters. This stretch of coastline is a treat for ramblers, reaching for miles north with stunning sea views and winding past the popular beaches of Porthcothan, Treyarnon, Constantine, and on towards Padstow. Head south to follow the snaking cliff line to be rewarded with delightful Crantock Beach, then on to Holywell Bay and glorious Perranporth, all of which are child and dog-friendly, and provide stunning photo opportunities with breathtaking backdrops.
