Newquay

If you want to avoid high prices, visit Newquay in September. The weather will still be warm and most tourists will have already left towards the end of August. If you are looking for a traditional seaside holiday, you should visit Newquay during the months of July and August to enjoy the sandy beaches and seaside bars.

Newquay Cornwall Airport is located less than 5 miles east of Newquay town centre and it is quick and easy to get there by bus or by road. Western Greyhound bus 556 operates between the airport and Newquay and Padstow. Travel Cornwall also has buses and taxis running regularly from the airport into Newquay Bus Station. It is advisable to book a taxi in advance. You can also hire a car with Hertz, Avis or Europcar.

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. If you are going further afield by train you can buy a ‘PlusBus’ rail ticket and this can then be used on Greyhound buses within the Newquay area on your day of travel.

All vehicles licensed by the local authority display a card in their windscreen. A yellow card means the cab can be flagged down in the street; a red one means it must be booked over the phone. 123 Taxis Newquay +44 1637 851234 www.123taxis.co.uk Newquay Taxis:
