Newquay is small and it is quick and easy to get around on foot. Travel Cornwall and Western Greyhound run regular bus services around town as well as to other destinations in Cornwall. Western Greyhound offers different types of tickets and you buy tickets on the bus.
In peak season traffic builds up and parking is difficult, so it is best you leave your car parked and get around town on foot or by bus.
