Newquay sits along the Atlantic Ocean on Cornwall’s north coast, in southwestern England. Its sandy beaches and strong swell have made it one of the most popular vacation destinations in the UK as people flock to enjoy England fleeting summer (and even catch some waves!).

Hostels in Newquay have chilled, cosy vibes that help you settle right in. You’ll love the comfortable lounge spaces and will be able to choose between dorm or private rooms.
