Water Sports

Being known for the world class beaches and as the surf capital of England, there is no surprise that Newquay has water sports galore - whatever water sports you would like to try you will be able to find in Newquay or nearby.

Newquay most famous for the surfing, being on the North Coast of the Atlantic Ocean means that we get fantastic waves, perfect for beginners to start out on or the more experienced that wants to catch a decent wave. Many of the beaches will have a surf school on or surf hire equipment available so the only hard part will be choosing your favourite beach.

If you are looking to do a something a little adventurous then why don’t you give Coasteering a try – get your adrenaline racing with cliff jumping, swimming and exploring the rugged coastline.

Take to the waters on the Jet Ski’s and get up close to the scenery like never before – if you like fast and fun then this one is for you! Keep an eye out for the wildlife especially the dolphins as they like to play next to the jet skis.

Just a few miles out of Newquay, Retallack Aqua Park takes its watery fun to a whole new level.  Jump, splash, bounce, climb and slide at their brand new floating inflatable Aqua Park, the first of its kind in the South West. This huge inflatable Aqua Park has a giant trampoline, climbing wall, slides, blast bag and challenging balance beam. Race your friends around the course, try and beat the obstacles and hurl yourself into the water - more fun than you could dream of. The Aqua Park is so big it can take up to 65 people in one session so it’s fantastic for birthday parties, hen weekends, corporate team building days and schools/universities.

The Retallack resort also operates Cornwall’s only Flow Rider which artificially creates the perfect wave every time with a sheet of water just 10cm (3inches) deep. If the weather is against you or you want to brush up on your skills or simply trying out surfing for the first time - give it a go.
