As a peninsula county, it’s all about the beaches in Cornwall. With literally hundreds of Cornish beaches, you’ll be sure to find a favourite to enjoy your perfect beach day.
We’ve ten sandy beaches surrounding Newquay, stretching from Watergate Bay to the north down to our two neighbouring strands: Fistral and Crantock. All ten beaches can be surfed, but are also suitable for children and families. Fortunately for dogs, the Newquay beaches are dog-friendly, and we believe they’re some of the best pooch-welcoming beaches in Cornwall.
Moving slightly further afield, you'll find the famous sands at Constantine and Polzeath to our north and Sennen and Porthcurno to the south. If you don’t mind getting in the car and exploring there are a myriad of coves and smaller beaches around the stunning Cornish coastline just waiting for you to discover them.
