Newquay is one of those places that surprises people. Yes, it’s known for surf and sandy beaches, but it’s also full of brilliant independent cafes, walks, swim spots and sunsets that make it so much more than a seaside town.

I care a lot about finding the best places and this guide brings together everything I’ve tried and genuinely love. From great coffee and dinner spots to beaches, saunas, walks and places to stay, it’s all here in one easy place so you don’t have to spend hours searching ✨
