Great Western Beach, Newquay, Cornwall

A beautiful sheltered sandy beach surrounded by high cliffs.

The beach is popular, despite its close proximity to town, it is quieter than some of the other beaches in Newquay. It is possible to walk to neighbouring beaches at low tide. The Cornish Coastal Path runs through the town nearby and the St Piran cycle trail runs within a mile of the beach. There are some rock pools at the beach.

There is good disabled access and beach facilities include toilets, cafes, deck chair hire, surfboard hire and lifeguard cover during the summer months. The beach is also fairly close to the centre of Newquay.

DIRECTIONS:

Lies on the northern edge of Newquay and close to the east end of the town. Railway station close to taxi ranks and bus stops. Access from town via steep road that ends as slipway to beach.
