We stayed right on the beach and it was stunning. Little bit breezy but great to watch the surfers do their thing. Kahuna Restaurant was delicious and great bacon butties from the cafe too. Would be the dream in the summer! More

This beach is not as easily accessible as Fistral, as unless you are staying at the apartments is accessed by approx 130 steep steps. The beach is very popular with surfers - I had a surf lesson on the beach from an instructor based at the surf school on Fistral beach which was great fun and very reasonable. There are... More

We've been regular visitors to Newquay over the last 30 odd years. Tolcarne Beach is great, well managed by the lifeguards who do their job ensuring the safety of surfers and bathers alike.

It is a public beach with a surf hire, cafe and locally renowned restaurant. There is plenty of space on the beach for families and surfers, as most of the surfing takes place as the... More
