Nestled on the North coast of Cornwall lies Great Western Beach, a coastal paradise beloved by both families and surfers alike. Despite its proximity to the heart of Newquay, this beach remains one of the quieter spots along the coastline.
At low tide, visitors can explore the beach's many neighboring stretches of sand, and children can discover the wonders of the rock pools dotting the shoreline. Meanwhile, beginner surfers can take advantage of the beach's gentle waves to catch their first ride.
The beach's towering cliffs offer both protection from harsh winds and a breathtaking backdrop for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. However, these same cliffs can cast a cooling shadow over the beach in the late afternoon, making it less than ideal for sunbathing.
