Cornwall Surfing Vacations & The Seaside Town Of Newquay
Great Britain is a brilliant vacation destination as the wide range of vacation types means that there is a bound to be something to suit everybody. Whether you enjoy sports and activities or you prefer a more peaceful and relaxing vacation the choice is immense. Of all of the counties in the United Kingdom Cornwall is one of the most popular for vacations. In the article below I discuss the most popular seaside resort in Cornwall, Newquay.
Cornwall Tourist Attractions
Cornwall has everything you could wish for in a vacations destination. Although the county has a massive number of superb historic houses, parks & gardens, museums & art galleries and castles Cornwall is famous the world over for it’s immensely picturesque coastline and its astounding number of beaches including; Sennen Beach, Porthtowan Beach, Porthminster Beach and Crooklets Beach.
The Best Place To Surf In Cornwall
Fistral Beach (not mentioned above) close to Newquay is another excellent beach which is extremely well known, especially in Europe. Situated on the Cornish Atlantic coast it sports the best conditions for surfing in England but it is crucial to understand that you will have a different experience dependant upon which part of the beach you choose to surf. Most importantly it immensely important that you understand that, excluding low tide, Little Fistral, found to the north can be highly dangerous because of the numerous rocks just under the surface.
A further difficulty with Fistral Beach is that, because it is so widely known in Europe it can get overcrowded, especially during the summer months. Because of this it may be more suitable to visit in the off peak season alternatively you could get there especially early in the morning.
Alternatives are pretty easy to locate because Cornwall has over 150 coves and beaches to choose from however Newquay has around 7m of sandy beaches. Watergate Bay is a highly suitable location for beginners but similar to Fistral it can get rather crowded.
Newquay is an excellent base for a vacation, for surfers, with a reasonable selection of bays’ coves and beaches including the already mentioned beaches of Watergate and Fistral but also the three sandy beaches within Newquay bay. Other surfing beaches in Newquay include; Mawgan Porth, Holywell, Crantock Bay and Whipsiderry.
Newquay Accommodation
Another factor which makes the resort such a great place to stay is that it is pretty easy to find reasonably priced bed & breakfast accommodation with rooms costing from as little as twenty four pounds a night. Newquay hotels which feature less costly rooms include; Edgcumbe Hotel, Pendeen Hotel, The Bay Hotel and Fistral Spa and Narrowcliff Hotel as well as The Quies, Sandy Lodge Hotel, Milber Guest House and Hotel Sunnyside.
If you would rather stay in an establishment which features more services and facilities or somewhere a little more luxurious you will find that there is a selection of four and five star hotels in Newquay including; The Headland Hotel, Bedruthan Steps Hotel Spa, The Penthouse 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 find that self catering is less expensive than you first thought. Available Newquay self catering accommodation includes the likes of Tolcarne Beach Apartments, Towan Beach Holiday Flat, Tregurrian Apartments Villas and Beachcombers Apartments.
