Visiting attractions in Newquay

When you come on holiday to Newquay, the focus is normally on the beaches and the clubs for most people. A lot of people come on Stag weekends in Newquay, or hen weekends in Newquay, and the first thought is about where to drink in the evening and where to meet other like minded people who are looking for fun. People also look to the beaches of Newquay as a source o their fun whilst on holiday, but for many people, seven straight days on the beach might leave them feeling like they need to do something else to entertain themselves.

If you do stay in Newquay, you will find that there are lots of other things to do whilst you are on holiday, and none of them will break the bank either. Firstly of all, you can take in a trip to the Sea life Aquarium, which is located right on the beach in the centre of town. It is an excellent aquarium, and you can expect to see a phenomenal range of sea creatures, from tiny little Sea Horses to huge Manta Rays and even Sharks! You should also look out for the incredible Parrot fish and the beautiful Turtles too.

If this isn’t enough for you, then you can head to Newquay Zoo. The Zoo is a great place to visit on holiday and it is nice to know that so many of the animals have been brought to the Zoo to provide a better life for them. Visiting the Lions enclosure is an experience that you will never forget. If you are lucky enough to hear then calling to each other then you will be amazed at the sheer volume! It is said that Lions can communicate with each other over a mile away, and it is no surprise when you hear then growling! As well as the incredible Lions there are many different species of Monkeys including tiny marmosets which are absolutely beautiful, and you can also visit the farmyard area which is incredible. You will see Zebras, Meer cats, and an incredible array of birds and wild animals. Considering the affordable entrance fee, it is a great day out.

With so much to do in both the day and the night, Newquay is the perfect venue for a holiday, and if you want a perfect Hotel to go with your perfect holiday, then you should go for the Sunnyside Hotel. With an incredible location overlooking the sea and within easy walking distance of the whole town, holidays don’t get much better than this!

Fistral Beach

Fistral Beach – the jewel in Newquay’s crown.

When people visit Newquay, the one thing that most people are seeking out is the sea. Newquay is famous for its wonderful surfing and of course it’s beautiful beaches. None are more famous than the fabulous Fistral beach.

Fistral is known for being a surfing beach, but in truth it’s much more than this. For a start it is one of the largest beaches in the area at around a mile in length, and it is not just the waves that attract people. Thanks to the geographical location of the beach, it tends to be sheltered for such an open beach, which of course means that it sometimes feels a little warmer than some other beaches in the area. Fistral is also home to one of the best food joints in the town. Fistral Blu has everything you could wish for and more. The Fish and Chip bar is open from 11 until 9 every day, which is the perfect warmer when you have been in the sea all day! You will also find the Fistral Beach Bar in the same complex which is a great place to chill out and watch the surf with your friends. If you are after something a little more sophisticated then you can try the Fistral Blu room which combines a relaxed atmosphere with fantastic food and great service. All of the different rooms in the Fistral complex are right on the edge of the beach, and they are all available for private functions throughout the year. [Read more...]
