DISABLED TOILETS: Newquay, and Cornwall in general, do not operate a RADAR key scheme. Disabled toilets are normal pay toilets like all others.
The following toilets are run by Newquay Council. The facilities they offer are normally available during their opening times. Unfortunately due to damage or maintenance, this may not always be the case. It is in the nature of emergency damage repair or short-lived maintenance this cannot be announced in advance. Any extended repairs, or closing, will normally be notified. In general, now a charge of 20p is made. This may not apply during special events or selected times. The Disabled toilets do also charge 20p. Our local businesses, pubs, restaurants, etc are usually fairly flexible on the use of their own facilities to make the visitor experience to Newquay pleasant and helpful.
