Try Newquay
Flanked by sandy beaches, with some of the UK’s best swell, it’s not hard to see why Newquay’s such a sought-after spot to stay whatever the season. Famous for having hosted international surf contests, it’s the ideal location to see what it’s all about.
The waves which pound the Cornish coastline are created by deep Atlantic low pressure systems which unleash their powerful swells eastwards creating some of the best surfing conditions in Europe.
And more than anywhere else, Newquay’s Fistral Beach has been the arena where champions are made. European number one and WCT contender Russell Winter, British number two Spencer Hargraves and former English champion Alan Stokes are just three surfers from the town who have fine-tuned their wave dance at the powerful beach break.
