Summer Holidays

The school summer holidays transform Newquay into a lively seaside town filled with families enjoying the peak season. Parents and kids alike embrace the laidback beachfront lifestyle. Carefree days are spent building sandcastles, swimming in the sea, and exploring the coastline.

Newquay's beaches buzz with activity, from lessons at the surf schools to games of beach volleyball. At the harbour, children delight at spotting fishing boats and their daily catches sometimes even followed in by the harbour seal! Another great family beach to explore is Towan Beach located in the town centre. 

Families flock to Newquay Zoo to glimpse exotic species and burn off energy runing around the13 acres of lush tropical gardens.

The little ones can cool down with tasty ice creams from the ice cream vans dotted all over Newquay or visit one of the ice cream parlours located in the town centre. 

When the sun sets, the beaches become magical settings for open air cinema under the stars. From thrilling watersports to family-friendly attractions, Newquay offers nonstop fun and entertainment for all generations during the long summer break. The lively seaside town truly comes alive.
