Newquay rules the waves

People come to Newquay with a bucket and spade, but they leave with a surf-board.
The beaches are so tempting, the conditions so perfect that every level of skill - or lack of it - is encouraged and rewarded.

The resort hosts world championships at Fistral Bay, which opens its arms wide to the Atlantic rollers. But in the lee of Towan Head's sheltering bulk, the beaches of Towan, Great Western and Tolcarne provide a safe and instructive nursery for belly-boarding learners before they graduate to white horses and the long, shark-finned Malibu boards. Tuition is available, and boards can be hired, either on the beach or from specialist surf shops in town.

Newquay's World Class Surf

Check out the Newquay Movie Clips and see for yourself

The Atlantic comes to Newquay supercharged by the momentum of 3,000 uninterrupted miles. Small wonder surfers talk of the resort in the same breath as Bondi, Malibu and Waikiki. Beaches like Fistral and Watergate Bay are giant superbowls that could have been purpose-built to stage world championships. And they do. Because here wind, tide and water combine in that white-crested, rolling, roaring crescendo the pro's call the Perfect Wave
