Step outside Lewinnick Lodge and you’ll be just a stone’s throw from our beautiful coast path, with panoramic ocean views to boot. But did you know we’re also just minutes away from seven gloriously sandy beaches, too? Cornwall is home to some beautiful beaches, so no trip to the county is complete without a visit to at least one of them.
From surfing and wild swimming in the Atlantic Ocean, to romantic evenings spent watching the sunset, each beach offers an entirely unique experience. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know.
Fistral, Cornwall’s premier beach
Distance from Lodge: 0.8 miles
15-20 mins on foot | 5 mins by car | 14 mins by bus
Renowned as one of the best surfing beaches in the UK, Fistral is Newquay’s most iconic stretch of sand… but waves aren’t all this beach has to offer.
Located just minutes from the town centre, you’ll also find a myriad of bars and restaurants in the north corner. So, why not watch the sun go down with a refreshing cocktail and soak up the buzz at Fistral Beach Bar or grab yourself some fish and chips to eat in the dunes? It’s an experience you won’t forget.
Or, if sand in your food has no appeal then come and dine at the Lewinnick Lodge. Our restaurant offers an brasserie style food with seasonal changes. Book your table today.
Little Fistral, the hidden gem
Distance from Lodge: 1.4 miles
29 mins on foot | 8 mins by car | 18 mins by bus
Tucked beyond Fistral’s main beach, you’ll find Little Fistral. This soft-sand haven is often a lot quieter and emptier than other Newquay beaches, but is still within easy reach of Fistral’s public amenities, including bars, shops and toilets.
Head here early in the morning for a solo dip as the sun comes up, before wandering back to the Lodge for brunch – a secret escape from the summer crowds.
