Newquay - Holidays and Fun

Newquay is Britains's favourite family holiday



ADRENALINE
The Atlantic comes to Newquay supercharged by the momentum of 3,000 uninterrupted miles. Small wonder surfers talk of the resort in the same breath as Bondi, Malibu and Waikiki.

Beaches like Fistral and Watergate Bay are giant superbowls that could have been purpose-built to stage world championships. And they do. Because here wind, tide and water combine in that white-crested, rolling, roaring crescendo the pro's call the Perfect Wave. And if you ever get tired of surfing, there's kitesurfing, waveski and mountain boarding, too.

BEACHES
Newquay has plenty of safe and accessible beaches where you can enjoy a traditional family holiday on the sand, but you may find that it gives you a taste for adventure. People come to Newquay with a bucket and spade, but they often leave with a surf-board. Newquay is a breeding ground for champions and host of world championships.

It is also a gigantic surf campus where people of all ages can learn in safety, with expert tuition, and build their confidence on waves that range in difficulty from easy to awesome. Sheltered from the prevailing south-westerlies by Towan Head, the beaches of Towan, Great Western and Tolcarne provide a gentle start for beginners on belly-boards, and a confidence-boost for those graduating to Malibu boards. Tuition is available and boards can be hired, either on the beaches or from specialist surf-shops in town.
