I booked this lesson for my sons 21st birthday to share with his brother.from the time of booking to thee finish of their experience the customer care was really good .The facilities are good plenty of hire kit ,showers and towels and lockers for those having lessons and right on the beautiful beach .parking was easy and pretty cheap £6.80 for all day.Also lots of amenities near by. The instructor Karl was superb his instruction just great ,It is rare to find an instructor who really loves what he does and he was so enthusiastic,energetic and encouraging they had an inspired and enjoyable afternoon.Karl was professional and able to judge their ability and skills accurately and progress when possible.My boys have come away with the desire to pursue this sport further at home and hope to return to the academy at some stage to improve once they have practiced. As aa coach of sport myself I can not reccommend Karl a and the academy enough.He was superb value for money £180.00 of expert skilled instruction for 3 hours a bargain.Also thanks to Karl who went above and beyond with his time and although he was fully booked fitted my boys in again at the end of a long day so that they could finish their qualification.If visiting Watergate bay book in you will love it.

South West Coast Path Walk - Newquay's Twin Headlands from Newquay Station

A 5 mile walk around Newquay's fascinating shoreline on the South West Coast Path, taking in the long sandy beaches with their Atlantic breakers which make it one of Britain's surf capitals, as well as its rocky headlands with their spectacular views out over Newquay Bay. People have lived here since prehistoric times, and there are some fascinating historical features en route.

I’ve done several small sections of the oath. It’s well signposted, dramatic scenery is on offer everywhere. This is one of the best walks I’ve done. I’ll be back to do more.
