On other beaches, like Watergate, nothing has been developed to spoil a masterpiece of nature. There are smugglers' coves, rocks with historic names and unusual rock formations and narrow estuaries rich in plant and animal life. For gardeners, Newquay is a huge subtropical showcase and there are examples everywhere. Some are close to the town, such as the bijou orchard and garden at Trerice. Further away is the beautifully landscaped 450 acre park of Lanhydrock, owned by the National Trust.
Anglers can take up the challenge of fly, coastal, deep sea, shark or freshwater fishing.
Why not enjoy the truly magnificent scenic walks, horse riding, putting or golf then take a break for a tasty pint of beer, a traditional pasty or the almost obligatory Cornish cream tea. Set in the grounds overlooking the wide sweep of Fistral Beach and adjacent to the golf course, Porth Enodoc Hotel offers excellent accommodation in an ideal location. We are away from the bustle of the seaside town, but within walking distance so that you can enjoy the amenities of Cornwall's premier resort. You can forget busy roads, leave your car in our ample car park and relax on the local beaches or explore the magnificent adjoining headlands. Newquay is famous for its surfing, with seven long, sandy beaches, ideal for all the family.
