About This Place

Half a mile west of Newquay, Fistral Beach is considered to be the UK’s leading surfing beach. Commonly split into two halves, North Fistral and South Fistral, the beach is long, straight and sandy, backed by steep sand dunes and overlooked by the iconic Headland Hotel.  --> The Cribbar, a reef at the northern end, is widely considered to be Cornwall’s top big wave spot, with rideable waves reaching over 30 feet.

💡 Our Take

We at DogParkUK wholeheartedly recommend Fistral Beach in Newquay, Cornwall for a fantastic doggy day out! Your furry friend can roam freely year-round on its glorious, expansive sand. Being predominantly sandy makes it easy on paws, even for puppies. Parking is available nearby, though it can get busy, so arrive early! While Fistral is famous for surfing, be mindful of strong currents; keep a close eye on your water-loving canine. This is best suited for dogs who love a good run and aren’t easily overwhelmed by other dogs and beach activities. Remember to bring fresh water to keep your four-legged pal refreshed!
