Cornwall’s International Resort
Newquay is visited by people from around the world to take part in international competitions and other events. Blessed with a fantastic coastline and seven stunning beaches providing a choice for whatever pursuit preferred, there is a beach for everyone’s taste in this fabulous resort.
If the beach is not for you try your hand at landing the next ‘jaws’ , or don a wetsuit and dive beneath the waves to glimpse an age old shipwreck or reef teeming with plant and animal life. At the harbour there are a plethora of boats are waiting to take you out for all purposes.
Newquay and its surrounds have a great variety of attractions & events to suit families with children of all ages from International surfing competitions, real ale weekends to food festivals. Music, the famous Run to the Sun, firework displays & the Red Arrows aircraft displays, polo on the beach, theatre, a zoo, an aquarium and much more, there’s something going on to suit all ages all year round.
For all of your surfing requirements BETTY’S SURF SHOP caters for all ages and abilities supplying and hiring wetsuits, boards, clothing, footwear and a range of surfing accessories. Wander through to our adjoining store and enjoy the Aladdin’s cave of Cornish gifts, beach toys and fudge.
Newquay really does come alive when the sun sets, from chill out bars and traditional pubs, to beachside cafes and rocking nightclubs, often playing host to Radio 1 and other top DJs. Soak up the atmosphere at an intimate pavement cafe or one of the many live music venues to hear local and international acts. If the view is all important, then there are cliff-top bars and cafes. Real ale fans are not left behind with a number of establishments serving local brewery specials.
When the crowds are gone Newquay is a great short break destination with cliff top walks, or the views that encompass the Gannel estuary, Fistral Beach, Pentire Headland, Towan Head and the north Cornwall coast.
Watergate Bay has one of the most spectacular expanses of beach in the whole of Cornwall. There is a beach cafe, parking and dogs are allowed all year round. At low tide there are good walks in both directions north to Mawgan Porth, Bedruthan Steps and Constantine and south to Newquay.
Next up the coast is Mawgan Porth with acres of soft white sand, rock pools, caves and magical sunsets. This beach is just five miles to the north of Newquay and an hour from St Ives, which makes it ideal for those who want a quieter life. There are several places to eat close to the beach, and dogs are permitted. Next along is Bedruthan Beach, accessible via a steep cliff staircase and not suitable for swimmers, but the views from the cliff top are outstanding. This National Trust property also offers a network of excellent footpaths.

Travelling north along the coast road up to Trevose Head there are secluded inlets with small hidden bays & beaches, fabulous walking trails along the cliff tops, and many small Cornish villages to enjoy. Booby’s Bay and its adjoining Constantine Bay lie just to the south of Trevose Head. The large beach has fine golden sand and rock pools to explore, surfing here is possible but can be tricky. Cliff walking north past the collapsed Round Hole cave to the lighthouse on Trevose Head is popular, but seasoned walkers may wish to round the point to visit beaches at Mother Ivey’s Bay and Harlyn Bay. Facilities are to be found at Constantine Bay and Treyarnon is a short walk south. There are popular family & surfing sandy beaches at either side of the headland, and the footpath leading down to Fox Cove is a delightful walk.
