Review:

Fistral Beach is a beautiful public beach located along Fistral Bay at Cornwall's northern Atlantic Ocean coast, approximately one-half mile west of the town of Newquay. The charming beach stretches for approximately 2,460 feet and is bounded by Towan head and Pentire Point East, backed by a landscape of steep, dramatic sand dunes. It is one of Cornwall's best-known surfing spots, serving as the venue for a number of major international surfing competitions throughout the year. Visitors can explore the beach's surf museum or hit the waves at the Cribbar, which features wave swells as high as 30 feet at prime tide conditions.
