Tolcarne Beach

Tolcarne Beach Newquay

Surfers: Newquay's three north-facing town beaches - Tolcarne, Great Western and Towan join up at low tide to form a mile-long stretch of sand, at high tide they're submerged. Always popular, and often crowded during the summer, despite the waves tending to close out. Best around mid-tide, with a light westerly cross-shore.
