PERFECT FOR LEARNING

Fistral beach is the most widely known surf spot in the UK and could be considered one of better surf beaches on the north Cornish coast.

Fistral beach is home to a range of National and International surfing competitions throughout the year including the Board Masters Surf, Skate and Music Festival, British Universities Colleges Surfing Championships and the English Surfing Nationals.

A visit to Fistral is a must to get the true Newquay surfing experience, enjoy a action packed surf lesson and then soak up the energetic atmosphere afterwards at the beach bar or visit some of the many surf shops and restaurants.

FISTRAL BEACH

newquay-fistral-beach

Beach Description:

Fistral beach is a straight, sandy beach backed by dunes roughly 750 meters long facing west by northwest onto the Atlantic. This west facing direction like many Cornish surfing beaches exposes Fistral to large Atlantic swells that provide consistent waves throughout the year. The Northern end of Fistral Beach is popular with locals and more advanced surfers, allowing beginners ample room further down towards the middle and southern end of the beach.

  • Surfing difficultly: Suitable for any level surfer.
  • Consistency: 6.5/10
  • Type of wave: Sandy beach break
  • Favoured wind direction: South easterly
  • Beach access: The northern end of Fistral beach provides beach access via car parking directly overlooking the beach.
