With
Newquay airport now offering direct flights from far and wide
Newquay is an ideal place to base yourself for your stay in
Cornwall.
The most popular past time when visiting Newquay
is of course the sport of surfing and with so many world class
beaches it is easy to see why. If you are just beginning or you need
to brush up on your technique why not try having a surfing lesson
with NorthShore surf safari. They can provide you with all the
equipment and knowledge needed to get you on your feet and riding
the waves.
If surfing is not your thing then there is no
shortage of things to do in and around Newquay. The Gannel estuary
is the perfect place for a tranquil walk and is a haven for wildlife
and plants. The Gannel is tidal so it is not recommended that you
swim or wade due to the strong and varying currents and if you are
planning a walk down there then be sure to check the high tide
times. There are two foot bridges that can be crossed at low and mid
tide and if it does happen to be high tide then there is a ferry
that operates in the summer season from Fern pit to Crantock Beach,
giving you the ideal opportunity to pop into the Fern Pit for a very
tasty crab sandwich!
Lusty Glaze is a privately owned cove that offers
the unique combination of a spotlessly clean family friendly beach
with excellent rock pools just waiting to be explored, along side
full facilities of an activity centre offering a number of outdoor
pursuits.
Another family orientated beach is Towan which
can be found a short walk from the apartment. Towan is host to the
famous Newquay landmark The Island which at its base has a man made
paddling pool which is great for the kids. Surfboards are not
permitted on Towan beach during the summer season making it a
brilliant beach for a safe dip in the sea!
At low tide you can
access Newquay`s working harbour from Towan beach. There is always
something going on in the harbour whether it’s the boats coming in
with the days catch, budding anglers hoping to get the fish of the
day on one of the many fishing excursions or the gig rowers going
out for a race across the bay! At the end of the day they will
probably all end up in the rowing club having a well earned drink!
