The Newquay South West Coast Path
Being on the North Coast of Cornwall, the South West Coast Path runs all around Newquay, making it easy to join the coast path wherever you will be staying. You can walk as much or as little as you like on the coast path, or you have the opportunity to just sit on the benches located around the path and take in the stunning scenery that Newquay has to offer.
Whilst walking the South West Coast Path keep an eye out for the abundance of wildlife you will see on your journey, dolphins, whales and basking sharks have all been spotted off the shores of Cornwall.
