Newquay Bay consists of four beaches - Towan, Great Western, Tolcarne and Lusty Glaze which form one single mile long stretch of sand at low tide. All four beaches can offer great waves depending on wind, swell and sandbanks.

South Fistral beach is very capable of producing some fine waves which usually break left and provides some protection from cross-shore wind. Best from mid to high tide, but watch out for submerged rocks on your right. To save some muscle try jumping off the rocks when the surf is big - beginners stay well clear! S to SE wind is offshore. Crowded in summer.

When big swells are coming in, North Fistral works at all tides. Best waves are produced at low tide when barrels and excellent peaks remind us all why this is UK's premier surfing spot. Mainly a right hander.

Good for beginners. Super crowded in summer.

Little Fistral is a small bay only visible at low tide which is the only time it is surfed. Waves break in both directions depending on sand bars.

Not recommended for beginners.

Crantock.

Fairly good beach break. Sheltered from SW and NW winds but best at SE'rly. River Gannel flows out at the northern end which can build good sand bars. Good quality right-hander can be found here at low tide sheltered from NW wind. When the swell is bigger, southern end produces a good left-hander sheltered from S and SW wind which is best from low to mid-tide. Good for beginners if conditions are not too big.

At low tide, Watergate Bay turns intoa two mile long stretch of sandy beach break heaven. If there are any waves around, this one will pick them up and serve for your enjoyment as both lefts and rights. Works at all tide stages but very popular at high tide as it is one of only a few beaches that gets good at high tide. SE wind is best. Favourite with Newquay locals in summer who seek to escape crowds.

Good for beginners.
