The U.K. is a brilliant vacation destination as the wide range of vacation types means that there is a bound to be something suitable for everybody. Whether you like sporting vacations or you would rather have a more peaceful and relaxing vacation the choice is enormous. Of all of the counties in the United Kingdom Cornwall is one of the most popular for vacations. Below I introduce the most popular seaside resort in Cornwall, Newquay.
Cornwall Tourist Attractions
Cornwall has a multitude of visitor attractions catering for every want or need. Even though the county features a huge choice of superb castles, museums and art galleries, historic houses and parks and gardens Cornwall is most widely known for it’s immensely beautiful coasts and its astonishing number of beaches including; Sennen Beach, Porthminster Beach, Crooklets Beach and Porthtowan Beach.
Places To Surf In Cornwall
Fistral Beach near Newquay is another superb beach which is incredibly well known, especially in Europe. Located on the Atlantic coast of Cornwall it sports the finest conditions for surfing in the whole of England but it is crucial to know that you will have different conditions depending on where on the beach you decide to go surfing. The primary thing you need to be aware that, excluding low tide, Little Fistral, to the north can be incredibly dangerous because of the countless number of rocks just under the surface of the water.
Another flaw with Fistral Beach is that, because it is famous across Europe it can become very crowded, especially during the months of July and August. For this reason it may be more suitable to visit in the out of season period or you could arrive very early in the morning.
Different places to surf are pretty easy to find because Cornwall has over 150 coves and beaches to choose from however Newquay has about 7 miles of sandy beaches. Watergate Bay is an extremely suitable location for beginners but like Fistral it sometimes becomes too crowded.
Newquay is a superb place for a vacation, for surfers, featuring a varied selection of bays including the earlier mentioned beaches of Watergate and Fistral but also the three sandy beaches within Newquay bay. Other beaches suitable for surfing in Newquay include; Mawgan Porth, Holywell, Crantock Bay and Whipsiderry.
Accommodation In Newquay
A further reason why the seaside resort is such an excellent place to stay is that it is easy to locate reasonably priced bed and breakfast with rooms costing from as low as 24 per night. Hotels in Newquay with inexpensive rooms include; The Bay Hotel and Fistral Spa, Pendeen Hotel, Edgcumbe Hotel and Narrowcliff Hotel and also Milber Guest House, Sandy Lodge Hotel, Hotel Sunnyside and The Quies.
If you would prefer to stay in an establishment which features more facilities or somewhere a little more luxurious you will find that there are a number of four and five star Newquay hotels including; The Headland Hotel, Perran Sands Holiday Park, The Penthouse and Bedruthan Steps Hotel Spa or you might like the 5 star Higher Trevorrick Country House.
