Food scene
Our most visited restaurant in Newquay for sure, located down on Tolcarne beach. Lovely decor and views. The best post surf/ bellyboarding spot there is. Lovely breakfast, coffees, afternoon tea (banana cake afternoon tea is great👌) and dinner with a sunset over the sea is incredible.

My personal absolute favourite spot for dinner in Newquay. A must visit. This place is a gem that specialises in French food and huge selections of wine and cheese. It’s very cosy so booking is essential. It’s a 20 minute walk from the Karrji to the far end of town along the cliff tops but so worth it.

Our closest beach and our personal go to surfing and belly boarding spot! Only a 5 minute walk away. I would highly recommend taking out the wooden belly boards you have in the Karrji for a surf here and grab a hot chocolate whilst you’re with us. The pizzas are also great!

At low tide you can walk from Tolcarne Beach all the way along the beach (all of Newquays North beaches become one at low tide) to the harbour. A really lovely walk on the sand and the most scenic route into the middle of town. Also at high tide this is a lovely sheltered swimming spot!

The first beach you reach as you head north from Newquay. The ultimate sunset spot. There is a car pull in on the cliff top as you reach Watergate from Newquay that is the best view. Many a lovely sunset has been had there looking out to sea and even dolphins spotted sometimes!
