Gorgeous just gorgeous, Newquay Wales is just the best. Go on a boat ttrip to seeee the dolphins, great variety of walks to suit all abilities and ages, Wonderful beach that you can walk for a good distance and choose the place where you want to spend your time having a wonderful day, Many shops and places to eat, a big variety in thing to do, if you are worried about parking they have loads of parking including a large overflow car park just a few minutes walk past shops to the beach Something for all thefamily and such a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Went for a long weekend stay nearby and was very pleased to visit the harbour and the local shops. Parking was a bit of a nightmare to find so go early and pay for a day £7 ans then enjoyed the day. Plenty of little shops and bars and restaurants to feed all tastes and the beach itself is beautiful. Went for a long walk around the coastline and would recommend a trip on the dolphin tour boats

Been going to this beach for many years now and also staying locally The beach has not changed in many years, but the place itself has suffered Hardly any shops now, expensive restaurants and very inflated tourist prices The area desperately needs an Aldi or something to try to cater for the ever growing tourist parks The area needs a good rethink

Great beach with both sand areas leading up to the water and stones. Access is very steep via an old adventure Park road as we stayed in the Haven Quay West, but it did look like there were other paths down. Not sure this is very accessible by wheelchair.

Beautiful surprise to see the dolphinsCardigan Bay in New Quay, Wales is one of the most beautiful and relaxing places I’ve visited. The stunning coastal views, peaceful beaches, and charming harbour make it the perfect getaway. We loved watching the dolphins from the harbour and walking along the coastline. The town has a lovely friendly atmosphere with great little cafés, fish and chip shops, and places to sit and enjoy the scenery. Everything felt clean, welcoming, and peaceful, making it ideal for families, couples, or anyone wanting a relaxing break by the sea. The sunsets over the bay were absolutely breathtaking. I would highly recommend New Quay and Cardigan Bay to anyone looking for a beautiful holiday destination in Wales. Can’t wait to return!. I dont want to sound grumpy but thier are some irresponsible dog owners that dont pick their dog mess up , on the sandy beach they spoilt it doing this , amd this is the only sad thing, I found upsetting, please clean up after yourself , you wouldn't like your child to be building a sand castle mixed in with dog poo
