Fistral Beach, Newquay

                                   

Swimming in the UK is only for the brave, even in the summer, but the spectacular scenery of Cornwall makes it all worthwhile. Located in the far south west of England, this corner of the earth is truly blessed. Green rolling hills and pretty country lanes give way to secluded coves which are deserted in the winter but packed in the summer. Newquay also hosts surf competitions.

Fistral Beach is Newquay's iconic beach, quite simply one of the most consistent and best surfing beaches in the UK and Europe. This beautiful beach is west facing, long and sandy and backed by rocks and cliffs. Fistral is the perfect family beach offering simple pleasures of sea and surf combined with first class beach and seafront facilities including surf equipment hire, lessons and boutiques, showers, toilets, car parking, restaurants and cafes.
