Summer is here!
6th June 2019
Wow, June already! Spring has flown by, but we are not complaining as we are looking forward to the warmer weather and chilled out evenings on the beach watching the sunset.
Talking of warmer weather June is a great month to explore the outdoors, as it is not too busy with people. Everyone knows that Newquay is famous for its beaches but there are other outdoor areas for you to enjoy too!

Trenance Gardens
Situated just on the outskirts of Newquay Town Centre you will find the picturesque gardens known as Trenance Gardens. Beautiful rose bushes and colourful flowers are what you will see here with a backdrop of magnificent old trees for you to explore. If you pop in the Visit Newquay Tourist Information Centre before you go, there is a free Tree Walk booklet available to tell you all about the different trees and flowers within the gardens.
In the gardens you will find a hidden little gem, a very charming little Tea Room known as Trenance Cottages which dates back to the 1800’s. Inside this fascinating Grade II listed building you can read all the history and see old pictures of how the cottages used to look and most importantly you can have the chance to try one of the most delicious Cornish Cream Teas around!

The Gannel Estuary
The Gannel is a tidal estuary that separates Newquay and Crantock village with the river itself flowing into the sea. When its low tide The Gannel can be enjoyed and accessed by two footbridges over the river but be aware that when the tide is coming in the footbridges can become covered from the tide making them inaccessible to cross.
The South West Coast Path
Did you know that you can walk the whole of Cornwall a long the South West Coast Path?
With Newquay being on the North Coast of Cornwall, the South West Coast Path runs all around Newquay, making it easy to join the coast path wherever you will be staying. You can walk as much or as little as you like on the coast path, or you can just sit on the benches located around the path and take in the stunning scenery that Newquay has to offer.
Whilst walking the South West Coast Path keep an eye out for the abundance of wildlife you will see on your journey, dolphins, whales and basking sharks have all been spotted off the shores of Cornwall.
What’s on in June
Many events are happening in June but here are three not to be missed!

As the sun retires each day over the weekend of Friday 7th – Saturday 8th June, leaving the waters of Newquay’s iconic North Fistral Beach glistening, a venturesome group of international wave warriors will be entering the water to ride waves in the darkness of nightfall. One of only two competitive night-time surfing events in the world, starts on the Saturday at 3pm when the first group of surfers will take to the waves. They will continue to battle it out through the barrels during dusk and into the night, finishing at 11.30pm on both Friday and Saturday.
