The town of Newquay is a popular holiday destination in this area and has all the usual beach shops, cafes, restaurants and accomodation expected of such a town. The centre of the town is dominated by the harbour from which fishing and sightseeing excursions depart during the summer. The long sweep of the main beach also starts from the harbour and curves its way around Newquay Bay.
This large horseshoe bay with its sandy beach is protected from the rough seas and is therefore particularly suitable for beginner windsurfers and kitesurfers. The protection from SW winds afforded by the headland can also be a godsend for surfers during big winter storms. Under such conditions Newquay can be one of the only places along the coast of Cardigan Bay with a clean rideable wave. In Southerly winds with a big swell it can go off. Parking can be a problem in the summer
