Onshore 7

Third-floor apartment in Newquay sleeping 4 in 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a balcony that looks directly down to Towan Beach 100 metres below. Complimentary surf and bodyboards are included in the booking - a practical touch for guests without their own equipment.

Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open-plan living space make it comfortable for two couples or a small family. Underground parking is accessed by lift - useful when arriving with boards or luggage. No garden and no pets allowed. WiFi, dishwasher, and washing machine provided. With 76 reviews logged on Sykes, this apartment has a longer track record than most in the building. Saturday changeover.

Towan Beach is the beach connected to the Island by a footbridge - one of Newquay's most central surf beaches. Great Western Beach is 500 metres east along the seafront. The town centre shops and restaurants are a 2-minute walk inland from the building on Crescent Lane. Tolcarne Beach is 900 metres further east, quieter and more sheltered.

Best for: surf-focused couples or families who want the beach immediately below them with the convenience of parking and free gear. Less good for: guests who need dog access or a garden space.
