With surfing beaches, adventure centres, steam railways and aquariums there is plenty to keep everyone entertained in Fistral Beach. In the first week of August every year, more than 200 international surfers gather for the Relentless Boardmasters to compete for £60,000 prize money - a shining example of the diversity Newquay offers.

Local Attractions

There are many local activities within easy reach of Newquay, including Blue Reef Aquarium, Lusty Glaze Adventure Centre and Lappa Valley for children but it is also worth considering the many other opportunities in Cornwall as a whole such as the Lost gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project. For anything from fishing trips to horse riding, mountain biking to sea kayaking and walking to rock climbing, Cornwall really does have it all.
