Newquay - What you need to know before you go - Go Guides

Newquay occupies a benign slice of the English Riviera, where the sun shines generously and hippies still flock in 1970s VW vans, hoping to recapture the flower-power dream. There’s a beach for almost everyone, from the quiet and family-friendly Porth Beach to the west-facing Fistral Beach, where you can hit the curling surf. Throughout the day, you can dine on seafood so fresh, you might still be able to taste the sea. For after-dark hedonism, Newquay's provocatively named Lusty Glaze Beach is the place to be for loud beats until the early hours.
