Location:

Newquay is a town on the north coast of Cornwall, in southwest England. It’s known for sandy Fistral and Watergate Bay beaches, where waves from the Atlantic Ocean create strong surf. On the seafront, the Blue Reef Aquarium features an underwater tunnel going through a coral-reef tank with pufferfish, sharks, and rays. Further inland, surrounded by tropical gardens, Newquay Zoo is home to lions, wildebeest, and sloths. 

If you enjoy meals out then Newquay has a lot to offer with a variety of top-class restaurants and a selection of places to eat, many with stunning sea views.  Along the high street you will find cafes, bars and restaurants for you to choose from.
