In a nutshell
British equivilent to Australia
EasyMalc Says: The headland next to the present day harbour gave shelter to the fishing community of Towan Blystra, which in Cornish means ‘Sand Dunes’ and ‘Blustery’.From its name though it was obvious that it still needed more protection and so a ‘New Quay’ was built in the 15th...
Snorkelling, Kayaking and Freediving
emilyholmes Says: FreediveUK run a fantastic trip - you get taken round the coast near newquay on Kayaks and are given the opportunity to jump off and have a snorkel at different spots- it's absolutely amazing how much stuff there is to see under the water which was quite a surprise given...

grayfo Says: Towan is the closest beach to the town centre and is bordered on the western edge by the harbour and at the East by a tall rocky outcrop called 'the Island' which is connected to the mainland by a suspension footbridge. The beach can get extremely busy in the summer due to...
grayfo Says: Newquay Harbour is close to the town centre; the Harbour hosts the annual Fish Festival and is also home to a colony of seals. There has been a small harbour in Newquay since 1439 but it wasn't until 1770 that its importance as a commercial harbour really took off when...
Tunnels through time and Buccaneer Bay
LouiseTopp Says: This is an attraction not to be missed if you are into pirates and Cornish history. Situated at the top of a hill in St Michaels Road next to the church overlooking a car park park, is the museum and the Sunken Village of the Damned is their latest attraction. Groups are...

Truscotts: Fish and Chips Heaven
DUNK67 Says: Truscotts is probably one of the best if not the best Fish and Chip shops that I have ever had the pleasure to eat in.Although the portions aren't the biggest that I have ever had they are quite filling and very, very delicious.They are also not the cheapest that I have ever...
Tricky_Dicky69 Says: La Luna is a popular Italian restaurant at the eastern end of town. The menu is made up of the usual mixture of salads, pasta, pizza etc. with enough choice to please everyone. The restaurant is not massive and as a result the tables are a little squeezed in but this doesn't...
The Beach Nightclub: Party at The Beach
DUNK67 Says: The Beach is in the heart of the pub and clubbing area of Newquay. Some nights the club has a foam party night, it was a normal night when we went but it was still a fairly good night. Smart casual.
DUNK67 Says: "The Walkabout" is an Australian themed bar and restaurant open until early in the morning. The food is excellent, you can buy breakfast in the morning and even crocodile and kangaroo is on the menu. During the day various sports are shown on the 9 metre big screen and...

No Worries was the first to ever set off the craze of people wearing lifeguard shirts, then others copped on and began copying the idea. I always worried that it would be mistaken for the real thing, but the real one's don't have the lining in the hoods. The shirts are quite cosy in the drafty wind and at £14.99 are a bargain. Everyone wears them, so we didn't feel like idiots.
What to buy: Lifeguard shirt, wet suits etc.
What to pay: £14.99 for a shirt.

grayfo Says: The Newquay Fish Festival gives the town an opportunity to showcase the harbour, now in its 9th year (2011) took place on September 9-11. The festival is a unique mix of Newquay's vibrant holiday scene and the traditional fishing community of the old Cornish harbour. This...
lazy_daisy Says: Just returned from Newquay. Plenty of surfer dudes on holiday and people having a good time - but omg - pregnant teenagers everywhere. What ghastly place. Can't blame them - if I was living on benefits, I wouldn't do it in Telford, either. Cornwall's Blackpool.
LouiseTopp Says: It's not just the hoodies people have to be aware of now, there are now yobs in the air of the feathered kind. Seagulls have developed a craze of dive bombing tourists, especially if he/she has food. They watch from the rooftops, then call in all their mates for a mugging....
Luggage and bags: Suitcase with wheels on it
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Good pair of walking shoes, use for wet weather
Raincoat which can be folded up small
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: You can get little mini bottles in Superdrug. Boots are OK but I would use Superdrug. Also get empty bottles in there, & put some of your shampoo/conditioner into them.
I use heat Nurophen or Deep Heat patches for my back & Co-Dryzomol (get from Dr's only) for my back condition. You can hire crutches, scooters. electrick wheelchairs from Speedy (I know, awful pun!) from Falmouth but they must be ordered in advance. There's no shopmobility in Newquay.
See your Dr or nurse as soon as you can to get repeat prescriptions - get enough for the trip and a bit extra, saves hastle bealive me.
Photo Equipment: Sand & cameras don't mix.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Bandanas are good for tying up your hair. mouth sheilds against flying sand etc.
Torch for those unexpected nights out
Whistle or emergency alarm
Miscellaneous: When travelling instead of buying cups of rea, take your own.
Wear a money belt under your clothes
Keep back those little black plastic forks you get with pasta pots, they are most handy

LouiseTopp Says: Originally laid to carry minerals and coal in 1849 in horse drawn trucks, the tram tarck developed through the years until it fell into disuse in 1926. It has now been brought back into being as a footway / cycleway. You can still see part of where the rails were, also...
grayfo Says: Newquay’s first signs of settlement consist of a late Iron Age fortified cliff settlement which took advantage of the local resources (including deposits of iron) and the superior natural defences provided by Trevelgue Head. It is claimed that occupation of the site was...
