Towan BeachTowan Beach is a short walk from the town centre and the harbour, and is connected to Newquay Island by a suspension bridge. Popular with families, Towan, or Town Beach connects to Tolcarne and Great Western beaches at low tide to form a mile-long expanse of sand. Due to its popularity, this beach in Newquay can become crowded during the summer season. Towan beach is also dog-friendly throughout the year, so those on dog-friendly Newquay beach holidays can take a stroll along the shore without leaving their pet behind.

Great Western BeachNewquay’s Great Western Beach is close to the centre of the town, yet can be a quieter option than some of the other more central Newquay beaches. With plenty of rock pools for children to explore at low tide Great Western Beach is a favourite with those on family beach holidays in Newquay. The high cliffs behind the beach are great for sheltering bathers from winds, but can also block the sun at times – so you may wish to bear this in mind if you like to sunbathe. The modest tides at Great Western Beach make it a great spot for beginner surfers too.
