From its origins as a small fishing village Newquay has become the premier resort on Cornwall’s rugged northern coastline, famous for its magnificent beaches and those huge Atlantic rollers that make it one of Europe’s premier surfing venues. There are nice cliff top paths & seaside walks to enjoy and the town centre has a good range of shops, a picturesque harbour, and plenty of cafes & bars. In Newquay Spring comes early and Summer stays late making it an ideal place to relax and enjoy whatever the season.
