Newquay is one of Cornwall’s most popular holiday destinations. It attracts a whole range of visitors who come to walk, cycle, fish or sail. Others come just to enjoy the arcades and fish and chip shops of a typical English sea-side town.
During the winter this quiet town attracts visitors who are looking to relax or take advantage of the tranquil beaches and some of the UK’s best surf. As soon as the days start to get longer around mid-summer though, the town changes dramatically; hotels, hostels and campsites get booked up, beaches get busy, the sea fills up and the bars and nightclubs start pumping.
Newquay is most famous for its surf beaches which attract both experienced surfers and those who want to learn at the many surf schools. During the summer Newquay attracts a younger crowd that wants to sun itself by day and party hard at night.
