Debbie's Guidebook to Newquay
Food scene
Tasty fresh Mexican inspired food made from scratch. This place gets busy and they don’t take bookings, so it’s a good idea to get there early, find a table, have some drinks and play mini golf.
This year they have an Indian street food pop-up on Wednesdays.

Sightseeing
Our favourite local beach. Quieter than the main Towan Beach and Fistral. It has beautiful views and easy access with a pushchair. There is also a fun burger bar on the beach, a little surfboard rental place and toilets.

Fistral Beach
A lovely spot tucked away from the crowds on the main Fistral beach. Great snorkelling when the sea is flat.

Little Fistral
3 Esplanade RdA lovely spot tucked away from the crowds on the main Fistral beach. Great snorkelling when the sea is flat.
Another spot that stays relatively quiet. If the tide is out it’s a great place to take small children to play in the sand and paddle in the little pools. At high tide perfect for SUPing and kayaking.
