Fistral Bay Beach Info | Cornwall Coast

Fistral Beach in Newquay is at the centre of the Cornwall surf scene and hosts major surf tournaments throughout the year. Fistral Beach is one of the most consistent and best surfing beaches in the UK and Europe.

Located just a short 20-minute walk from Newquay town centre the beach is around 750m long, backed by sand dunes, and allows dogs all year round.

Fistral Bay consists of three beaches; South Fistral, North Fistral and Little Fistral, which is a small bay further to the North accessible only at low tide.

Best known for its surf, the west-facing beach gets Atlantic swells producing constant waves. North Fistral Beach can be surfed all the time. South Fistral Beach works best on mid to high tides. Suitable for beginners, although can have some dangerous rip currents.

International Surf Centre, cafe, restaurants, bars, seasonal lifeguards, and car parks although can get very busy in the summer months.
