Beaches in Cornwall

Here in Cornwall, you’ll never be too far away from one of our breath-taking beaches.

Whether you’re looking for soft sand, the perfect wave, a beach café or stunning views we can guarantee you’ll find what you’re looking for in Cornwall! But with so many to choose from, which ones should you visit? Here are some of our favourites nearby and a little further afield…

Fistral Beach

Newquay’s world famous surfing beach which is regularly home to huge waves that reach heights of 6-8 feet. With lots of other facilities such as cafes, takeaways and shops this beach is great fun for the whole family.

Little Fistral

This beach sits just north of Fistral beach. Here the waves can be huge and fantastic to watch but it’s not as popular with the surfers due to the area being quite rocky (which makes the beach great for rock pooling!)

Harbour Beach

This beach’s sheltered shallow waters and close proximity to Newquay town centre make it popular with families. In the summer the harbour is busy with fishing boats which draws in the occasional seal looking for leftovers.
