Beachview Apartments, Crantock

Your Beachview Apartment

Perched on a quiet lane close to the beach, your apartment really does offer you the best of both worlds. Close enough to Newquay to enjoy all the action of a busy resort town, yet in its own peaceful corner of a small seaside village so you can truly feel away from it all. Step inside and you’ll immediately want to unwind.

Kick back in the airy open-plan living space or fling open the doors to your private balcony and enjoy the views. Your kitchen is kitted out with all you’ll need for a relaxing stay including a dishwasher and washer/dryer, and the bedrooms have ample space and lovely, comfy beds.

To the front of the building is a shared outside area with astro turf and picnic benches – perfect for brekkies in the sunshine while the children burn off their energy. For those travelling green there’s electric vehicle charging available, and you’ll find private parking for one car on the premises.

Things to do

Being within a stone’s throw of Newquay, you’ll have all of the town’s beaches, restaurants and activities at your fingertips. Holywell Bay lies just a short drive away, as do Watergate Bay and Porth.

Crantock Beach
The fabulous Crantock Beach lies right to the front of your apartment and is an easy walk or short drive away. It’s a popular spot for surfing, with consistent waves suitable for surfers of all levels and there are Big Green Surf School nearby offers surf lessons as well as board, wetsuit and SUP hire so if you’re keen to take to the waves or the river, they’ve got you covered.

Flowing into the sea alongside Crantock Beach, The Gannel Estuary is a tidal river surrounded by nature which creates a truly beautiful spot for swimming and water sports. At low tide, you can walk across the estuary and at high tide you can use the foot ferry which operates seasonally. It’s a scenic way to travel between Crantock Beach and Fern Pit Cafe on the other side.

The South West Coast Path
Make your way down to the beach and you’ll find yourself right on the coast path. There are two lovely walks to embark on from here – a short 2-mile walk to Penpol Creek and a longer, yet thoroughly rewarding path to Holywell Bay.

Crantock Beach to Penpol Creek

This short walk offers stunning views of a calm estuary and the wide Atlantic coast. Kids will enjoy the long sandy beach with its dunes, and there are interesting tales about ancient saints and buried secrets to discover. It’s especially nice in spring when you can hear birds nesting and feeding, and in summer, the birdsong in the evening adds to the experience.

Crantock Beach to Holywell Bay

This walk is easy to follow, with clear coastal path markers guiding you to Polly Joke beach. Along the way, you can enjoy the ocean views, watch stormy clouds, and breathe in the fresh sea air. Polly Joke beach, nestled among rugged cliffs, is popular with families and couples. Further along, you’ll reach Holywell Bay, known for its wide beach and stunning views. It’s a favorite spot for surfers, dog-walkers, and families alike.
