| Description:Newquay
has a world wide reputation for surfing and comprises four
beaches - Towan Beach, Great Western Beach, Tolcarne Beach
and Lusty Glaze. Together they form a huge expanse of sand
at low tide. The beaches are ideal for families and surfers
and there are excellent facilities, though Newquay does get
very busy. There are roads down to Towan, Great Western &
Tolcarne, but steep steps down to Lusty Glaze. To the west
of the town there is also Fistral Beach which is treated separately
in this guide |
|
Directions:Newquay is 50 miles from Plymouth and 81 miles
from Exeter. Approach from the east or west on the A30 and
at Indian Queens turn north at the roundabout onto the A39.
Proceed until the next roundabout then turn left onto the
A392. Follow the A392 to Quintrell Downs and go across the
roundabout to remain on the A392. Approaching the outskirts
of Newquay, turn right at a roundabout to remain on the
A392. At the next roundabout turn right onto the A3058 and
follow this road up to the Newquay sea front. Here turn
right to drive along the sea front and then turn left for
the Lusty Glaze car park. Alternatively follow the A392
to the west of Newquay to park near Fistral beach. There
are other car parks by Towan beach and at the harbour, but
these can be difficult to get to, as there are a number
of one way systems in use
