Newquay Harbour & Beach - TR7 1HR

About

DOG FRIENDLY ALL YEAR
NO LIFEGUARDS ALL YEAR

The harbour is one of Newquay’s most picturesque locations and even has its own small beach to relax on. With a restaurant by the beach, and several other restaurants and pubs overlooking it, you can enjoy a drink or meal whilst taking in those views. Nothing feels quite so traditionally Cornish and relaxing as watching the fishing boats coming home with those spectacular sea and beach views in the background.

Maybe you just want to enjoy a trip out to sea or encounter the ocean wildlife? Pleasure trips run regularly from the harbour and some particular ones are sea ‘safari’s’ - they seek out dolphins, seals and other marine wildlife - if you’re lucky you may encounter a vast basking shark  or the rare sunfish. The harbour has a couple of regular wildlife visitors as well, two resident seals follow the fishing boats in at the end of the day which are easily seen as they expectantly pop their heads above the water.

There are also some truly spectacular events hosted at the Harbour. One of which is the Newquay Lifeboat Day; with real training exercises as the lifeboats are put through their paces - which usually includes a visit by the air sea rescue helicopter. Harbour sports day is a show-piece of just how fun activities can be on the water - from superfast speedboats to jet ski’s and water skiing demonstrations.
