Newquay is one of Cornwall’s most vibrant destinations, and with Trenance Holiday Park just a short walk from the town centre, you’re perfectly placed to make the most of everything it has to offer. Here are our top five picks for the summer season.
1. Surf Fistral Beach
Fistral Beach is the UK’s surfing capital, and for good reason. With consistent Atlantic swells, it’s perfect for beginners and seasoned surfers alike. Plenty of surf schools operate right on the beach, so even if you’ve never stood on a board before, you’ll be riding waves in no time. Trenance is less than a mile away, making it easy to pop back for a rest between sessions.
2. Explore the Blue Reef Aquarium
The Blue Reef Aquarium on Towan Beach is a brilliant family day out, especially if the weather turns. Walk through underwater tunnels surrounded by sharks, rays, and hundreds of colourful fish. Children love the interactive rockpool displays and regular feeding talks throughout the day.
3. Stroll Around Trenance Gardens
Just minutes from the park, Trenance Gardens is a beautiful green space with boating lake, crazy golf, and a miniature railway. It’s ideal for a leisurely afternoon and the little ones will be in their element. Pack a picnic and make an afternoon of it.
4. Take a Boat Trip
Newquay Harbour runs regular seal-spotting and sightseeing boat trips during the summer months. Head down to the harbour in the morning to book your spot — they sell out fast on sunny days. The views back to the town from the water are stunning.
5. Hit the Waterworld Slides
Waterworld at Trenance Leisure Park is a firm family favourite. With giant water slides, wave machines, and splash zones, it’s an afternoon of pure fun. Best of all, it’s practically on our doorstep — you could walk there in under five minutes from the park.
Whether you’re planning your first visit to Newquay or returning for the tenth time, there’s always something new to discover. We hope to see you at Trenance this summer!
