Newquay (Free Day) - Thursday, 8 October 2026

‍A free day today to do with as we please!

‍Another great breakfast this morning, although slightly marred by a group leaving early, cluttering the restaurant at 07:30, when it’s usually almost deserted.

‍We did very little; it’s good to have time to one’s self. We took a morning stroll along the cliff above, and returning on, Fistral Beach. The tide was way out. Some people were surfing. We went down to the water’s edge to watch - and listen to an RNLI lifeguard in her land-rover, berating the few who didn’t stay within the flagged zone on a loudhailer. 

‍A round-trip of about 1.5 miles and 1.5 hours, with a café stop.

‍The afternoon… nothing except reading and relaxing at the hotel.

‍

‍Weather:

‍Broken clouds & sun (am); overcast but dry (pm), with a stiff sea breeze. Around 15ºC
