places to visit

Hi, I'm new on the forum, ive never surfed but would love to try it.

I'm kind of going on a roadtrip on around the southwest coast soon, ill be taking a month or so out to drive about and check out the coast. I've decided to finish of the trip at newquay and was wondering if anyone could recommend places to stop over and hang out?

thanks alot for any help

Welcome aboard.

It might be easier to put places not to visit as Kernow is FANTASTIC.

It's not the coast but you have to go to Eden.

Sennen is cool and if you want to go to Lands End (Which is SO commercialized now.) then walk from Sennen as it doesn't take long and it'll save ya getting ripped off at the car park.

I hate to say you might struggle but some places you will find it hard, alot of camp sites only take week bookings but alot of B&B's do 1 night only.

Boardmasters is good if you are in Newquay beginning of August.

If your passing through PLYMOUTH then you just have to visit CAP'N JASPERS in the area they call THE BARBICAN.

Its also a good area for food but I'd avoid at night.


CAP'N JASPERS


PLYMOUTH BARBICAN



The Jasperiser at Cap.Jaspers is just out of this world as is there yard of hotdog!

One year I had two Jasperisers & didn't eat for the next 37 hours
