Especially if you’re part of the younger generation who head to Cornwall, chances are that Newquay is high up on your list. There are 10 different beaches in the town but there are lots of other things to keep you occupied on your holiday in Newquay.

Surfers from all corners of the world come to Newquay and each year there is an annual surfing competition that takes place. This means that during the summer season especially the town offers a wealth of attractions and great nightlife as well. However, as well as being a haven for surfers this town is popular with families as well. Actually during the summer months the towns’ population nearly quadruples.

The climate is somewhat different from other parts of England during the summer the weather is usually quite warm with very little chance of rain occurring. The winter months are warmer as well, being “cool” as opposed to cold or frozen. So because of this Newquay can be the ideal spot to visit at any time of year, just remember to bring some warm clothing if visit during the winter or spring months.

Originally the town was a thriving port (although small compared to those of Portsmouth and Plymouth), but now it has become a hot spot for tourists instead. Certainly if you are looking to come and stay in Newquay whether for a few days or a week then booking accommodation well in advance in advisable.

However, if you’re prefer to miss the crowds and enjoy what this town has to offer then consider visiting in April or May. Generally the weather is pretty good and it’s normally quite warm (but not baking hot) then. But the great thing about visiting Newquay at this time is that you will find that you have many of the beaches to yourself.

If you’re not part of the beach and surfing crowd, there are lots of other things to keep you occupied in the area. Certainly if you are holidaying in Newquay then visits to Newquay Zoo and the Blue Reef Aquarium are a must. And if surfing seems too energetic, why not hire a body board instead?

When you’re looking for a Newquay hotel or guest house, you’ve got a wide choice of places to stay. Either you can select to stay in one of Newquay’s hotels or if you want to get a little more feel for the kinds of lives that the locals lead then staying in one of the family run guesthouses or B&B’s is a far better option for you. Plus the costs are somewhat considerably less than those of the hotels also.
