Newquay (Cornish: Tewynn Pleustri/Towan Blystra) is a town, civil parish, seaside resort and fishing port on the north Atlantic coast of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. Newquay has been a major tourist destination for more than a century now, principally on account of its beautiful coastline and ten long and accessible sandy beaches. These include the famous Fistral, which could claim to the best-known surfing beach in the British Isles. Perhaps 22,000 people live in Newquay, but the population can increase to 100,000 or more in the summer because Newquay has a large stock of holiday accommodation. The resort styles itself "The Surfing Capital of Britain". Newquay is firmly established as the centre of the surf industry in Britain with many surf stores, board manufacturers and hire shops in the town.

Full of cheap tacky shops and bars , so many beautiful places though in the local Area, my advice would be unless your a surfer , stay clear and go further up or down the shore line
