Off for a UK sea side break in May, down to the Newquay area. We've been before, but tend to go back to the same old places, Padstow etc.

Anything worth seeing or any events todo? Hope to do some cliff top walks as well. Places to eat etc.

Port Isaac - park in the car park at the top of the cliffs then walk down to the village and have lunch at the Slipway Hotel (beer battered fish & chips were very good).

If you get nice weather visit the minnack theatre then walk the coastal path to lands end and sennen, you'll pass deserted beaches with water the colour you wouldn't believe we get in this country.

Visit kynance cove after that go to the lizard lighthouse and walk the coastal path towards housel bay, whilst your down the lizard eat here:

Go and see Doc Martin's house while you are there...biggrin

Tintagel and St Ives are well worth a visit, (If you have never been)...

Aw was thinking we could meet up. You'd definitely need a break from all the walking stuff, and we have hookers. tongue out

Let us know if Newquay has recovered.

If you would like to give a new activity a try contact Rob Barber's bodyboarding school.They are all great there and you'll have good fun in the water.You can hire all the gear from them.

If you are lucky Rob will do the lesson and you will see some world class boarding,

Do this...

We did 10am - 2pm with Captain Trebilcock and he was excellent.

Caught an awful lot of fish, 60 lbs of Pollock.

If you're there then do it.

I paid £220 to charter it, rather than £25 a head, as we didn't want other people on our trip.

Sailors nightclub... go there and let your hair down.

Apart from Padstow, Mawgan Porth and Crantock beach are worth a visit.
