BEACH

The beaches surround Newquay. To the south, Fistral Beach, considered the main beach, is worth bathing, but especially for surfing. In the summer there are numerous competitions. In the north, Great Western Beach is popular with surfers, Tolcarne Beach and Lusty Glaze Beach attract more bathers. A little further, in Watergate Bay, there is again a question of testing the wave. Each beach has cafés, toilets and rescue swimmers. Beware, however, at high tide, beaches are almost entirely covered and tourists are often surprised!
