This beach is the jewel in Cornwall's crown and attracts surfers of all abilities. The three-quarter-mile stretch of sandy beach is the venue for some of Britain鈥檚 top surfing competitions.

The standard of surfing in the water is high, especially at North and Little Fistral. Experts and intermediates paddle out by the rocks using the rip.

Beginners stay to the middle of the bay. East through to South winds are offshore. Chops up in a south westerly, although South Fistral is sheltered by cliffs. The lefthanders are holding their shape well at the moment. Holds surf up to 10ft.

Best at low tide but has waves at all stages. Parking spaces are at a premium during the summer and with the proposed British Surfing Centre development is set to get worse. Good facilities close by and there is the luxury of beachside showers.

They are often dubbed beginners waves, but when a big south west swell is running it can offer up some good clean faces along Towan, Tolcarne, Great Western and Lusty Glaze.

The beaches all face N/NW so pick up less swell than Fistral. It's normally best from mid to high tide, but can close out over 5ft. S to SW winds are offshore. Beginners should opt for Towan where the waves are less powerful. The further east you paddle the more powerful the waves become.

The Tolcarne Wedge is a big draw for bodyboarders halfway along the beach, and can be very crowded when on. Park in town where you can. Shops a stone鈥檚 throw away for wax and food.

For a cheapish place to stay, why not try the Fistral Backpackers in Newquay which offers a clean, friendly, and very informal home for surfers and travellers. Situated right on the beach you can expect to enjoy unobstructed views of the surf. The backpackers can be found at:
