Newquay
With it’s breathtaking rugged coastal scenery and seven miles of golden sandy beaches it is easy to see why Newquay, the surfer’s paradise, has traditionally been the most popular holiday destination in Cornwall.
The food revolution in Cornwall has clearly helped. Rick Stein’s presence in Padstow re-invented the town and now Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen restaurant is doing the same for Newquay. But it’s not just Jamie and Rick who are good for foodies. Lewinnick Lodge on the Pentire Headland has great food and with about the best views going. The Lusty Glaze restaurant does great British food with a Mediterranean flavour and is situated in a lovely sandy cove at the north end of Newquay. From here you can watch the surf and the surfers while you sit back and relax.
It's Not Just Surfing: Whether you enjoy walking, great views, pretty seaside towns, speciality shops, local history, relaxing on the beach or maybe something a bit more energetic, Newquay has it in abundance.
