Newquay

Whilst in Cornwall we visited Newquay, a popular seaside town.  There are twelve beaches around the area all with golden sand and being on the Atlantic coast they are favourites with surfers. We were lucky with the weather as the sun finally came out and we were able to enjoy walking on the sand in the warm sunshine.








A bridge links these two properties. I think the large one on the right is a hotel.




There is a small harbour at Newquay.





The lobster pots, neatly stacked on the quay, waiting to be taken out to sea






In the afternoon we drove along the coast to the town of Padstow.
A lovely little town with a small harbour.

  3. Lovely pictures. I'm intrigued by the one with the two properties and a bridge between them. Looks like one is built on sand right near the water. Beautiful, but a miracle it doesn't get washed away in a storm.

  8. It looks very pretty and surprisingly quiet, although that could be because you were out early.

  10. It's an absolutely very beautiful area ! I bed that if Cornwall would have the weather of the Côte d'Azur, nobody would go to France anymore !!

  12. This place is loaded with charm. The bridge connecting the two homes is amazing … surely one of a kind. It would be such fun to run across to the other side.
