Newquay is one of the nation’s favourite seaside towns, exudes the laid-back atmosphere you would expect from a town perched on Cornwall’s Atlantic cliffs and bordered by 7 miles of glorious golden sandy beaches. It’s a place where all the family gets to relax and enjoy a proper holiday. There’s a different beach for every day of the week and glorious open spaces looking out to sea. The town manages to be both trendy and yet remains a great family resort, all wrapped up in the most fantastic coastal scenery.
