Food & Drink

Very close to the flat, amazing food! Highly recommend the Sunday Roast takeaway. Vegan & Veggie options available. This place is very popular so order early if you're planning on going. It has been refurbed since the pics above so use Google maps or fb to find it.

One of the newest Restaurants in Newquay that first caught our eye before it even opened because of it's gorgeous decor! The food & drink definitely didn't disappoint either. Extremely popular so recommend booking in advance.

Another great pizza place with a range of local beers/ciders to try. Stunning sea views over Fistral, especially if you can catch the sunset! Definitely recommend booking and asking for a window table

Beaches

The beach you can see from the apartment, literally a stones throw away. Family friendly, popular surfing beach. (Please check the conditions and consider safety guidelines). Newquay Activity Centre is on the way down to the beach (see Activity section for more info). During low tide it's possible to walk from Towan along the beach to Great Western and then to Tolcarne. Both of these are popular surf spots as well and you may be able to find a quieter spot on the beach somewhere between them all. You can also access both of these beaches using steps down from the main road.

Considered the UK's best surfing beach, a 15 minute walk from the flat and a fantastic place to watch the full sunset. Nice long beach with soft sand and dunes. Shops, cafes and surf Hire available.

Another very nice, popular beach that's a bit further out, you can either drive and use the car park or walk to it from the apartment (45 mins+) via the Coastal path which crosses the Gannel via a footbridge during low tide.
