Walk the beach and at low tide all the way into the town. Good long beach, and great for kids.

The Afon Soden flows out of the steep valley to this pretty little bay and beach. It's accessible on the Wales Coast Path but a good mile from the nearest roads so it's never busy. Lovely place though.

Built as a lookout in case of military invasion, this lookout, perched high on the cliffs at Newquay, would later be used by the coastguard keeping an eye out for smuggling.

Castell Bach, (“Little Castle”) is an interesting little cove with a Celtic iron age hillfort which sits on the plateau overlooking the cove. Although there is little to see of the “castle” today it is still a great spot to take in the scenery. The beach has an enclosed feel to the rear are high grassy cliffs, while the seaward side is dominated by a rocky knoll, which never quite becomes an island. There are some striking folded strata to be seen on this rock.
