We had a nice easy drive from Combe Martin to Newquay, stopping at Widemouth Bay for lunch on the way.
The sun came out and lit up the beach in all its sandy glory which made our detour so worth while. We stayed in Widemouth Bay in Summer 2020 and thoroughly enjoyed it, such a lovely part of the world. You will find our Widemouth Bay blog here:

After our gorgeous lunch stop off we arrived at Porth Beach Holiday Park in Newquay, Cornwall to a friendly welcome from the site staff.
The site wasn’t too busy so our pitch was in a quiet location.
The next day we had a walk into Newquay even though rain was forecast.
Coming out of the campsite and across the road to Porth Beach, we took the coast path into Newquay town. We walked past Lusty Glaze Beach and Tolcarne Beach, both idilic with steps down for access.
Unfortunately the heavens opened up and we were ducking in and out of doorways the rest of the journey so we didn’t manage to get any more photos.
Newquay has a Blue Reef Aquarium that we visited the next day.
Newquay has a lot to offer but we mainly stuck to the campsite and Porth Beach.
Porth Beach is vast and ideal for watersports, especially when the tide is in as its quite shallow so boarding is popular.
Back at the site we had a lovely sunny day and relaxed in the sunshine whilst playing some games.
Buddy needed a relax after all the ball chasing (even though he wasn’t part of the game!)
An added bonus of staying near to a major town is the ability to order dinner on deliveroo and Just Eat so we made the most of it and only had to cook for one night which fell to Mr B…

On that same evening we had lovely sunset.
Newquay has a lot to offer but what we found most enjoyable was the ability to either fully relax or immerse yourself in the town and its surroundings.
Next to Porth Beach is Porth Island which offers stunning views of Newquay. Its has a dedicated path up to the island point but the cliffs are high and without barriers, Buddy had to be put on his lead at certain points.
We now realise that Duggie is rapidly becoming Buddy’s van. He’s at his most relaxed when we’re travelling and despite his many anxieties he’s incredibly chilled when he’s having a beer with his dad.
We had a great time in Newquay and each day was different to the other. It’s off to Ilfracombe next so we’ll see you there.
