Surf-loving couples or families can grab their boards and be riding the waves in moments from this delightful second-floor apartment overlooking Fistral Beach. Beginners can also dip their toe in as two bodyboards are provided for guest use. In between active days on the water, enjoy long walks along the coast or sit out on the private balcony with a bottle of wine and some snacks watching life on Newquay’s famous beach unfold below.
Light pours in through floor-to-ceiling patio doors, making the open-plan living space feel bright and cheerful. Indoor entertainment is provided by a Smart TV and PlayStation, while the dining area seats four at a large wooden table so you can chat over meals together. Both bedrooms can be arranged as super-kings or twins to suit your group, with the master room boasting sea views over the bay and an en-suite rainfall shower. A family shower room serves the second bedroom, and an on-site surf shower and storage cage keep boards, wetsuits and beach gear clean and tidy, ready for the next session on the waves.
A mile up the clifftop path, Little Fistral and its surrounding coves are dotted with barnacle-crusted rock pools between pockets of sand and shingle. This offers a more laid-back atmosphere if you need some quiet time away from the fizz of the main bay. Take a stroll around the Towan headland, passing the historic Huer's Hut and continuing towards Newquay town centre for shops and restaurants. To the south of Fistral Beach, Perranporth (9 miles) offers quirky gift shops and a beach bar with live music.
