Welcome to the Surfing Capital of the UK
Newquay beaches could have been purpose built for surfing. They are pounded by surf created from the mighty Atlantic Ocean, which has the momentum from 3000 uninterrupted miles.
Newquay Fistral and Watergate Bay beaches play host, each year, to world championships. Visitors attend to take part or spectate from as from as far as Australia,U.S.A., Africa, Japan, and many European countries. The wind, tide and water combine to provide us with what the pro's call the perfect wave, putting us on a par with Bondi, Malibu, and Waikiki. For the latest conditions call 'Surf call instant update' on 01839 360360 (45p cheap rate, 50p min all other times) or tune into our local radio station 'Pirate F.M.' 102.2/102.8 for twice daily updates on surfing conditions.
Wet suits, body boards, surf boards etc. are all available, locally, for hire and to purchase. Whilst Fistral Beach attracts the professionals, the towns sheltered beaches, Towan, Great Western, and Tolcarne all provide a safer Haven for novice Body Boarding, and Malibu boarders. Expert tuition is available from local surf schools. From absolute beginners to full day Surfari's or a whole week's package to suit your needs.
