Tourist Attractions In Cornwall

Cornwall has a multitude of tourist attractions catering for every want. Even though the county is home to a massive number of first class parks and gardens, museums and art galleries, historic houses and castles Cornwall is famous the world over for it’s incredibly beautiful coastline and its astonishing collection of beaches including; Porthtowan Beach, Crooklets Beach, Sennen Beach and Porthminster Beach.

The Best Place To Surf In Cornwall

Fistral Beach close to Newquay is another exciting beach which is extremely well known, especially throughout Europe. Situated on the Cornish Atlantic coast it sports the finest conditions for surfing in the whole of England but it is crucial to know that you will have differing experiences dependant upon where on the beach you decide to go surfing. The primary thing you need to comprehend that, except at low tide, Little Fistral, situated to the north can be extremely dangerous due to the many rocks just under the water’s surface.

A further flaw with Fistral Beach is that, because it is famous across Europe it can become very crowded, especially during the summer months. Because of this it might be more suitable to wait until the out of season period alternatively you could get there especially early in the morning.

Different places to go surfing are pretty easy to locate as Cornwall has more than 150 coves and beaches however Newquay has around 7 miles of sandy beaches.  Watergate Bay is an excellent location for novices but like Fistral it sometimes becomes too crowded.

Other beaches suitable for surfing in  Newquay include; Holywell, Mawgan Porth, Whipsiderry and Crantock Bay.
