Moderate – 5.0 miles (8.0 km)
A walk around Newquay’s fascinating shoreline, taking in the long sandy beaches with their Atlantic breakers which make it one of Britain’s surf capitals, as well as its rocky headlands with their spectacular views out over Newquay Bay. People have lived here since prehistoric times, and there are some fascinating historical features en route. A good walk in autumn, especially on a windy day, when the flocks of seabirds heading southwards down the coastline might include storm petrels among the kittiwakes and terns.
