Especially if you’re part of the younger generation who head to Cornwall, chances are that Newquay is high up on your list. There are 10 different beaches in the town but also there are plenty other things on offer for those thinking about a Newquay vacation.
In fact, you will find that this area is extremely popular with surfers from across the globe and there is an annual surfing competition that takes place in the town. Because of this during the summer months especially the town offers a wealth of attractions and great nightlife as well. However, as well as being a haven for surfers this town is popular with families as well. In fact, in the months of July and August the population of the town very nearly goes up by 400%.
The climate is somewhat different from other areas of the UK during the summer the weather is usually quite warm and therer is a very low rainfall at that time of the year. Whilst the winters are cool rather than cold. So because of this Newquay can be the ideal spot to visit at any time of year, but obviously you’ll need warmer clothing in the winter – you’re unlikely to be wandering around in shorts and t-shirt at that time of year.
Years ago, the town was a busy port (although small compared to those of Portsmouth and Plymouth), but this has changed in favor of attracting tourists. Certainly if you are looking to come and stay in Newquay whether it’s for a week’s holiday or a long weekend then booking accommodation well in advance in advisable.
That said, if you are looking to avoid all the tourists and enjoy what this town has to offer then consider visiting in April or May. Generally the weather is pretty good and temperatures are relatively warm at this time of year. But the great thing about visiting Newquay at this time is that you will find that you have many of the beaches to yourself.
Although the beaches and the surfing are the main reasons why so many people choose Newquay vacations, there are lots of other things to keep you occupied in the area. Certainly if you are holidaying in Newquay then visits to Newquay Zoo and the Blue Reef Aquarium are a must. And if surfing seems too energetic, why not hire a body board instead?
When it comes to where to stay in Newquay, you have a number of choices available to you. Either you can select to stay in one of Newquay’s hotels or or you may prefer the friendlier option of a family run guest house or bed and breakfast. They are also usually a cheaper option than a hotel if your budget is limited.
