Newquay - the coast of dreams and surf
Newquay – the coast of dreams – represents a rare mix of wonderful coastlines; spectacular beaches washed clean by the Atlantic Ocean; rock pools teeming with marine life; crystal-clear sea for a leisurely swim, or for the challenge of surfing the best sets in Britain; soaring cliffs with magnificent views; and delightful gardens for tranquil strolls.
Walking, cycling, golf, horse-riding, bowling, tennis, fishing, kite surfing, wakeboarding, diving, power kiting or abseiling, plus a host of indoor and outdoor attractions in Newquay and the surrounding area – there’s something here for everyone.
Newquay has lots of interesting things for all ages to see and do. There is a Sea Life Centre, Golf Course, Zoo, and plentiful nightlife.
Run to the Sun 2011
Run to the Sun (RttS) sponsored by Budweiser 66 is one of the biggest VW, Custom Car and Dance Festivals in Europe.
2011 marks the events 25th anniversary and the festival organisers are pulling out all the stops to make this one to remember.
Newquay Harbour
The Huer's House, on the headland west of the harbour, is of interest.
Newquay was renowned for Pilchard fishing,which came in plentiful numbers but at infrequent intervals.
Until the late 19th century a man known as a Huer,would watch from the house for the shoals to redden the waters, the sign that Pilchards were in the bay.
He then gave a great cry of 'Heva! Heva!' to alert the fishermen of the town.
