The picturesque heart of the port, Newquay Harbour is a must-visit any time of year and it’s got a knack for suiting every kind of visit. Bring the dog for a run on the sheltered beach, enjoy a long lunch as a family or come back after dark for drinks and dinner for two overlooking the water.
There’s a restaurant right on the sand and down at The Boathouse you’ll find Street Food on the Beach. There’s a rotating line-up of independent vendors serving everything from burgers to seafood, Caribbean jerk chicken and sweet treats, with a full bar, live DJs and decking right on the water. Open from spring through to the run-up to Christmas
Look out for Sammy!
The harbour is home to ‘Sammy’ the seal, resident for many years. Watch closely as the fishing boats come in. He follows them as they return with their catch, hoping for and usually getting, a piece of the action.
