Great Western Beach, located in the heart of Newquay, opposite the train station and home to Newquay Surfing School and Seabreeze Bar & Cafe.
The beach works on all tides but is best at mid tide. Generally 1 foot smaller than Fistral beach so Great Western Beach is a great option for learner and intermediate surfers!

Offshore when wind is from South-westerlys to East.

Coops is usually the King of Watersports voice of our social media and behind the blog. Stand Up Paddle Boarder, Wakeboarding, skater and a one time kitesurfer, she has a more relaxed attitude to her board riding. If she is out of the office then she is probably carving up some badass jewellery.
