Summer on the Coast

You probably already know that Newquay’s beaches are iconic, and summer is when they truly come to life. From the hustle and bustle of Fistral Beach to the dramatic clifftops along the coast, we’d like to think our hotel is perfectly positioned for you to soak up the season’s best. Whether you're a surfer chasing the next wave, a family looking for adventure, or a couple seeking sunsets, summer in Newquay offers something for everyone, big, small or four-legged.

Something for all

A summer stay at The Esplanade is more than just a getaway - it’s an experience. Our family-friendly ethos means kids can enjoy activities like pre-booked surf lessons, arts and crafts, movie nights in our in-house cinema, meeting a mermaid, and so much more while the grown-ups relax (tipple in hand) in Elements cocktail bar or indulge in a peaceful moment in our hot tub, pool and sauna.

For couples seeking exploration, the South West Coast Path provides miles of breath-taking trails, and nearby attractions along with spectacular coastal scenery. Dolphins regularly frequent the Fistral shoreline in summer so keep an eye out on your travels.

Dining with a View

Summer is the season for bright food and location dining, and our sea-view Cove restaurant is the perfect spot to enjoy fresh, locally sourced dishes while watching the waves roll in for that alfresco-feel.
