A beach per day during your stay? This can be easily achieved on a self catering holiday in Newquay, with its 15 bays in and around the lively surfer’s town. Popular hotspots include the adrenalin junkie’s favorites of Fistral and Watergate, or more peaceful Lusty Glaze and Porth for family ambles. Stroll along the sandy basin of the Gannel river at low tide all the way to Crantock Beach and its striking sand dunes. Crispy battered fish sizzles from grill to plate down at the harbour, and coffee and cocktails go down a treat in high street favorites and independent pop-ups along the town’s main strip.
