Newquay (NQY), the surfing capital, is beloved of surfing fans around the world. Numerous sandy beaches totalling 10 kilometres in length and the almost tropical vegetation in places are sure to be the sun-soaked highlight of your trip. But the surfing capital of Britain also has other leisure activities for those less interested in water sports. Tenance Gardens boast tropical plants that thrive in the mild Cornish climate. Newquay Zoo is also found in the gardens, where you can see over 130 species of animals. Newquay is also home to many restaurants, snack bars, clubs, pubs and shops, and is most certainly worth a visit.
