Surfing Holidays in Cornwall

Cornwall is Britain’s surfing capital – it is, after all, home to the UK’s most famous surf town, Newquay. Its history with the sport stems back to the 1960s when it took off in the USA and across the pond, surfers soon caught on to the ideal tidal conditions found at Fistral and Watergate beaches.  

Revel in a quintessential Cornish stay inside one of our beautiful country cottages in and near Newquay, all just a hop, skip and a jump from the beaches. Or go for something more hipster for your surf stay with our collection of beach houses. Other top surfing locations in Cornwall include Polzeath Beach in Padstow, ideal for beginners with gentler waves, and Porthmeor Beach in St Ives for more powerful surf and swell.   

Find plenty more to see and do on non-surfing days such as walking along the South West Coastal Path, visiting National Trust properties and playing in the penny arcades. When it’s time to refuel, find everything from Michelin Star restaurants to top notch chippies and pasty shops – or fire up the BBQ back at your place.
