A Curated Journey Along the Atlantic Coast
Immerse yourself in the dramatic beauty and easy rhythms of Newquay and the wider Cornish coast. Shaped by the Atlantic, this is a landscape of golden beaches, rugged headlands, working harbours and creative coastal towns – inviting exploration that feels relaxed, rewarding and unhurried. Our curated selection highlights the most compelling places to discover, all within easy reach of THE NICI Newquay.
Newquay
At the heart of Cornwall’s surf coast, Newquay combines natural drama with a lively, creative spirit. From sweeping beaches and cliffside paths to a growing collection of independent cafés, galleries and shops, the town rewards wandering without an agenda.
Explore the harbour as boats come and go, walk the coastline from Towan Head, or simply soak up the energy of a place defined by sea air and wide horizons.
Fistral & Towan Beaches
Newquay’s beaches are among the most iconic in the UK. Fistral Beach offers expansive sands and rolling Atlantic waves, while Towan Beach sits closer to the town, perfect for relaxed seaside strolls and easy beach days.
Whether you’re drawn to long walks by the water or quiet moments watching the tide, these beaches form the natural heart of the Newquay experience.
Crantock
Just beyond Newquay, the village of Crantock offers a gentler pace and a distinctly local feel. Set where river meets sea, it’s ideal for coastal walks, peaceful beach days and moments spent immersed in Cornwall’s softer side.
Its wide sands and surrounding dunes make it a favourite for those seeking space, calm and scenic beauty.
Padstow
A little further along the coast, Padstow is one of Cornwall’s most celebrated harbour towns. Wander its narrow streets, enjoy the bustle of the working harbour, and explore a mix of independent shops, galleries and coastal eateries.
It’s an easy and rewarding day trip, offering a lively contrast to the openness of Newquay’s beaches.
St Ives
Renowned for its light, art scene and beautiful beaches, St Ives blends coastal charm with creative energy. Explore galleries and studios, stroll along the harbour, or relax on sandy coves framed by turquoise water.
With its blend of culture and scenery, St Ives makes for a memorable day of coastal discovery.
The South West Coast Path
Following the edge of the Atlantic, the South West Coast Path reveals Cornwall at its most striking. Walk sections near Newquay for sweeping sea views, dramatic cliffs and hidden coves, or venture further afield for longer, rewarding routes.
Whether enjoyed as a gentle stroll or a more invigorating walk, the path offers a powerful connection to the landscape.
On Foot
Coastal Walks
Discover miles of cliffside paths and shoreline walks offering ever-changing Atlantic views. From gentle harbour strolls to longer stretches of the South West Coast Path, walking is one of the most rewarding ways to experience the Cornish coast.
On Two Wheels
Cycling Routes
Explore Newquay and the surrounding countryside by bike, with a range of routes suitable for relaxed rides or more adventurous days out. Quiet lanes, coastal stretches and scenic inland paths offer a flexible way to see more of Cornwall at your own pace.
