Cornwall is known for its great surfing, and the county is teeming with great spots. Here are some of the best ones to visit.
Fistral Beach in Newquay is arguably the most famous surfing beach in the United Kingdom, which means it’s busy but absolutely worth a visit. Swells of up to 8 feet will challenge intermediate surfers, too.
Gwithian Beach is found near Hayle and boasts a nice long wave that can fit plenty of surfers at a time. Wave sizes vary as you move along, so it’s a good spot for groups of mixed abilities.
Perranporth Beach is a nice long stretch of sand that almost always has surfable waves. Try the Penhale end, where the swell tends to be better.
Polzeath Beach in Padstow is a lovely place for beginners to try their hand at surfing thanks to gentle waves. It’s near Rock, known as the fanciest town in Cornwall.
Porthtowan Beach is a more challenging spot for experienced surfers, boasting fast waves that make it a favorite among locals.
Praa Sands Beach in Helston is another famous beach that draws plenty of crowds when conditions are good, but, luckily, there is a lot of wave to be shared.
