Little Fistral Beach

Little Fistral is a small, west-facing beach that can only be reached at low tide. A small, white “lookout” building can be found atop the Towan headland. From there, you can take in stunning coastal views of Newquay and beyond.

Newquay is approximately 15 miles (in opposite directions) from both Padstow and Truro on the middle of the north Cornwall coast. A variety of self-catering vacation options are available at Newquay holiday cottages.

By the beach, there are only a few parking spots, but there is a much bigger parking lot at the main Fistral Beach (a short, pleasant walk away), which also has great amenities like a restaurant, restrooms, shops, and watersports facilities. Little Fistral does not have a lifeguard patrol.
