Nearby beaches

Fistral Beach

Newquay's main surf beach, and home to the Cribbar — one of England's only genuine big-wave breaks.

Towan Beach

Newquay's central beach, home to Jago's Island — a private house perched on its own rock, reachable only by footbridge.

Great Western Beach

Named after the old Great Western Railway service that first brought holidaymakers to Newquay, and still the easiest beach to reach by train today.
