Beach haven in Newquay
Its laid-back charm will envelop you as soon as you arrive in Newquay but in no time you’ll realise this idyllic spot on the north Atlantic coast holds so much more. Eight sandy beaches lie along the shores close to town set against a backdrop of rugged cliffs. The big waves are what’s made this the surfing capital of the UK. But if hitting the waters isn’t your thing, head to the Blue Reef Aquarium or indulge in a bit of me-time at the Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa, where you can enjoy a half-day’s pampering from just £60.
WHERE TO STAY The Carnmarth Hotel sits atop the headland just a five-minute stroll from the centre of town. Flanked by beaches on three sides, every view is set to wow. Sit on the south-facing terrace with a chilled glass of wine as the sun sinks into the horizon. The rooms have been recently refurbished to a very high standard, with cool beach-inspired decor.

WHERE TO EAT In the heart of the town is Little Kahuna (kahunarestaurant.co.uk). The highlight is the pad thai. But be warned – with just six tables, booking is advisable.
