With two stunningly different coastlines, Cornwall offers the best of both brilliant surfing beaches in the north, untouched landscapes in the west, and the quiet and calmness of the south coast’s sandy coves.
North Cornwall’s coastline offers some of the best surfing spots in the world. The beaches that surround the famous town of Newquay have hosted the National Surfing Championships and see thousands upon thousands of surfers come to Cornwall to enjoy the great swell and clean breaks each year. However, it’s not all busy surfing beaches. To accompany this popular town you can also find plenty of clean and quiet beaches offering the same great surf without the party atmosphere of Newquay itself...
The south coast of Cornwall does enjoy a few surf friendly beaches, but is more about the quiet, family beach that gives visitors the chance to play on the sand or enjoy the serene sound of waves lapping against the coastline. With beaches a-plenty, the south Cornwall coast doesn’t lack options, so wherever you plan to stay you’re sure to be able to find something that suits you. The beautiful clear waters and diverse wildlife that are on display are truly unique to this area and are sure to last long in the memory.
The beaches in Cornwall, known as some of the best in the world, really will give you everything you could want from a holiday by the sea!
