Newquay Surfing Beaches
Â
Surfing in Newquay, Cornwall started in the early 60’s, read this post for more on the early days of surfing, when American and Australian surfers travelled over from their swell-blessed homelands looking for new and exciting lifeguarding jobs. Having honed their skills in the surf of the home breaks, they surfed like no one else and it was a spectacle for the locals to see, catalysing surfing’s boom in the UK. Today the sport is one of the town’s biggest businesses and there’re surf schools, shops and lodges around every corner. Here’s a quick run through of where to find your best waves around Newquay.
