Newquay is on the South West Coast Path
overlooking seven sandy beaches with spectacular
sea view walks all along the coastline.
River Gannel
The coastal path follows the
cliffs which border most of the
Newquay beaches, so you can
choose to either walk the paths
or on the beach. When walking on
the beaches, special care must
be taken to know your tide times.
Most of Newquay’s beaches have
steps or roadways down to them
but some sections in between
the main beaches can be cut off
by the tide - even when it is only
part-way in.
The coastal path follows the cliffs
and walking north of Newquay you
can walk virtually uninterrupted
to Padstow and beyond, passing
through typical Cornish villages
on your way. The coastal road
between Newquay and Padstow
follows the coast path fairly
closely so it is a popular option to
use the bus service as a way of
returning or vice-versa.
