England is a brilliant place to take a vacation because the varied range of vacation possibilities means that there is a bound to be something suitable for everybody. Whether you like sporting vacations or you would rather have a more peaceful and relaxing break the choice is endless. Of all of the counties in Britain Cornwall is one of the most favoured for vacations. Below I discuss the most popular seaside resort in Cornwall, Newquay.

Cornwall Tourist Attractions

Cornwall has a multitude of visitor attractions catering for every want or need. Even though the county features an enormous range of superb museums and art galleries, castles, parks and gardens and historic houses Cornwall is world famous for it’s immensely beautiful coast and its amazing selection of beaches including; Porthtowan Beach, Crooklets Beach, Sennen Beach and Porthminster Beach.

Places To Surf In Cornwall

Fistral Beach near Newquay is another thrilling beach which is incredibly well known, especially across Europe. Situated on the Atlantic coast of Cornwall it features the best conditions for surfing in England but it is crucial to know that you will have differing conditions depending on where on the beach you decide to go surfing. The primary thing you need to be aware that, excluding the period at low tide, Little Fistral, located in the north can be extremely dangerous due to the numerous rocks just below the surface.

A further problem with Fistral Beach is that, because it is famous across Europe it can become extremely busy, especially at the peak of the tourist season. For this reason it might be more suitable to visit in the winter months alternatively you could attempt to arrive especially early in the morning.

Alternatives are pretty easy to locate because Cornwall has over one hundred and fifty beaches and coves to choose from however Newquay has roughly 7m of sandy beaches. Watergate Bay is a superb location for learners but similar to Fistral it is prone to overcrowding.

Newquay is an excellent base for a vacation, for surfers, featuring a reasonable selection of beaches, bays and coves including the already mentioned Watergate and Fistral beaches but also the three sandy beaches within Newquay bay. Other surfing beaches in Newquay include; Whipsiderry, Crantock Bay, Holywell and Mawgan Porth.

Places To Stay In Newquay

A further reason why the resort is such a great place to stay is that it is pretty easy to locate inexpensive bed & breakfast with prices from as little as twenty four pounds per night. Hotels in Newquay with less expensive accommodation include; Narrowcliff Hotel, The Bay Hotel and Fistral Spa, Edgcumbe Hotel and Pendeen Hotel plus The Quies, Milber Guest House, Sandy Lodge Hotel and Hotel Sunnyside.

If you would rather stay in an establishment which features a few more facilities and services or somewhere a little more luxurious you will find that there a fair few 4 star and 5 star hotels in Newquay including; Bedruthan Steps Hotel Spa, The Penthouse, The Headland Hotel and Perran Sands Holiday Park or you might prefer the 5 star Higher Trevorrick Country House.

If you are travelling with a group of friends you might discover that self catering is more affordable. Available Newquay self catering includes the likes of Towan Beach Holiday Flat, Tolcarne Beach Apartments, Beachcombers Apartments and Tregurrian Apartments Villas.
