Coastal Valley Camp & Crafts is perfectly placed for exploring the Cornwall coast near Newquay, with 7 beaches in Newquay and over 15 more within a 5-mile radius.
Many of these are dog-friendly beaches, with only two having seasonal restrictions, making this an ideal location for guests bringing their dogs.
The surrounding area offers plenty of variety, from wide sandy beaches and popular family spots to quiet coves and scenic coastal walks. A short drive along Cornwall’s narrow country lanes will take you to some truly beautiful and lesser-known locations.
For those who prefer not to drive, great-value bus day passes provide easy access to Newquay and other parts of Cornwall, making it simple to explore further afield.
You’re also just 30 minutes from the South Cornwall coast, where you’ll find a more sheltered and relaxed coastline — a gentle contrast to the dramatic scenery of the North Coast. Popular spots include Charlestown, Mevagissey, Looe, and the Eden Project.
Polly Joke is particularly beautiful from late May to early June, when the poppy fields are in bloom.
