Newquay & St Agnes

The largest resort in Cornwall is Newquay with its many surfing beaches. Sadly the town itself is very run down and we couldn’t see any improvement since our last visit.

The house on this stack has intrigued many people over the years…

…the surfers probably don’t even notice it.

The harbour is wonderful…


…and a hive of activity when the fishermen return…

…not today though, just a lot of lobster pots to be seen.

We motored on to St Agnes and were intrigued by the terraced housing named Stippy Stappy. From the IntoCornwall website: The unusual cottages known as Stippy Stappy are named in Cornish dialect, probably with reference to the steep step type nature of their construction.

We followed directions to the beach…


…known as Trevaunance Cove…


…another surfers’ paradise.
