Summer

Hoorah, Summer! The warm air, the sea breeze to keep you cool, the seagull calls, the smell of pasties throughout the town… You can’t but love the summer season in Newquay. Remember that because summer is the warmest and, some might say, most beautiful time of year, it’s also the most popular and the busiest. You’ll see the sea turn a turquoise shade of blue, dolphins, seals and other animals come to life in the waters, and the sun’s rays turn the sand to a Caribbean-like white, it’s no wonder everyone flocks to Newquay at this time of year! If this is the season that you’re planning on visiting, then keep reading to find out what Newquay has to offer in the summertime.

Beaches

With seven beautiful beaches to choose from, what better time of year to make the most of them? The main beaches in Newquay include Newquay Harbour, Towan, Great Western, Tolcarne, Porth, and Fistral. These are just the beaches located in the town and often get quite crowded at the peak of the season. So why not try one of the other beautiful beaches located a few miles out of Newquay? Like Porth, Watergate, Crantock, and Holywell. No matter how busy it is, you’ll never be stuck for a spot on the beach when there are so many amazing beaches to choose from!    

Water Sports

No need to worry if you’ve never done it before as most of the surf schools in Newquay cater to all abilities! If you’re looking for something a bit different you can go on a jet ski safari, coasteering, paddle boarding… The possibilities are endless with a different surf school or adventure centre on every beach, and in a town surrounded by the ocean!

Go to an Outdoor Attraction

If you’re looking for something to do other than the beach but still want to be outside in the sunshine, how about a trip to one of Newquay’s outdoor attractions? You can head to Newquay Zoo to get up close to some of the world's most endangered species, go to Lappa Valley Steam Railway if the kids want to ride a real steam train. There’s an outdoor attraction for every member of the family here in Newquay.
