Fistral is Newquay's most popular beach. Located to the west of Towans Head.
Fistral is Newquay's largest beach noted for its fine golden sands and surfing.
The west facing beach is almost a mile long - backed by steep sand dunes which provide a degree of shelter.
The westerly aspect of Fistral beach creates some of the best surfing conditions in Europe.
Fistral has made Newquay famous as a surfing centre and many national and international
competitions are held here each year. Lifeguard during the summer months.

Towan has a good sized expanse of sand and rocks. The beach is the closest to the town centre and is often referred to as "Town Beach". The proximity to the town and the level access, makes it very busy during the summer.
The beach has a small, sea filled swimming pool to use in the summer season.

Tolcarne beach, is a west facing beach with a large area of sand backed by 150 foot cliffs.
The beach is one the most popular beaches in Newquay. The westerly aspect makes Tolcarne a good surfing beach. The beach is a short walk from the town, with a long descent- over 200 steps- down the cliff. The area is well worth a visit if only for the stunningly beautiful views of the
Headland and Harbour.
