Welcome to Newquay
Anyone operating under the misapprehension that English beaches are uniformly pebbly and gray will be stunned by Newquay’s golden sands. This resort town in northern Cornwall is one of the country’s most popular seaside retreats, and for good reason—with nine sandy beaches, a reputation among international surfers, and exceptional seafood restaurants, it’s an ideal place to while away long summer days. Beyond the beach, visiting Newquay Zoo and Blue Reef Aquarium are two top things to do in Newquay for families, while the South West Coast Path attracts serious walkers.
