Top 4 Attractions in Newquay, Cornwall
Check out some of the best things to do in Newquay!
Our visit to Cornwall was breath-taking. This was my first time returning since I was a child. As I was visiting Cornwall with my son, I aimed to visit as many of the attractions as possible during our short stay.
Here are the top 4 attractions and inexpensive things to do whilst visiting Newquay, Cornwall.
1) A walk to any of the top 5 beaches
Gather yourself a minute or two, to experiences some of the strongest winds and the most picturesque views of any of Newquay’s beaches. Walk across the coast, take photos and breathe!
2) The Heritage Museum
Find some time to go for a walk and visit the Heritage Museum in Newquay. It was a decision we made at short notice to visit the museum, but we were really glad we did. We learnt a lot of history relating to the war, the young girl who actually grew up in the exact building- which was then her home, and entered all areas including the tea rooms. There was a lovely gift shop on entry where you can find anything from postcards to dolls. Best of all, the museum is free. However, we would recommend leaving a small donation if possible.
3) Visit an authentic Cornish Bakery
You cannot leave Cornwall without trying a local Cornish Pasty! Find a bakery or cafe where you can sit in a grab a Cornish tea as well! I’d recommend visiting an independent bakery rather than a chain, to see if you could taste the difference. No offence, but I had no interest in buying from ‘Warren’s Bakery’ as you can find them anywhere!
4) Visit the Aircraft Museum
This was at the top of our list and unfortunately we were unable to go, as the museum is closed both on Saturdays and Sundays. If you really want to visit this museum during your stay, be sure to book during the half term if your travelling with children, or any days during the week!
5) Visit a Conish Sweet Shop.
Go and purchase a selection of Cornish sweets, I came home with two boxes of cornish fudge for my mum and she loved them!
Just walk around, take in the serene air, and have fun! Don’t forget to take some photos!
If you’ve visited Newquay before, let us know in the comments where you visited, and where you stayed!

- SAMAWATI APARTMENTS IN NYALI, MOMBASA | VILLA REVIEW
Where we Chose… As other family members were joining us on this vacation to Mombasa, it made more sense to book our flights and accommodations separately especially as we had intentions to stay in other areas across Kenya. I wasn’t sure what areas in Mombasa I was looking for, but I knew I wanted something… - ETHIOPIAN AIRLINES – (LONDON – ADDIS ABABA) | FLIGHT REVIEW
The New Spirit of Africa When we were looking for flights, Ethiopian Airlines was an airline I did not consider. Simply because it wasn’t widely recommended, nor had I known anyone that had used them before. Although flight prices with Ethiopian Airlines were much cheaper, familiarity became my priority over expenses. I wanted to use… - Travelling to Kenya? Try The Magical City of Mombasa
So, it was definitely time to return to the Motherland, and this time, I decided on somewhere new. Somewhere I had not been before… and I chose Kenya. I had my eye on Kenya for years, but it was December 2025 that the Lord said “At the right time, I the Lord will make it…
