Bathsheba, Ocean 1

Bathsheba, Ocean 1 is a three-bedroom apartment in the Ocean 1 development in Newquay, positioned directly above Fistral Beach. It sleeps 6 across three bedrooms - one en-suite - with two bathrooms in total. The sea-facing balcony looks straight down to the sand. The position, with Fistral on the doorstep, is genuinely hard to match in Newquay.

The apartment includes wifi, parking, dishwasher, and washing machine. There is a garden, and the property is dog-friendly. The layout across three bedrooms gives a family of 6 enough space to spread out without tripping over each other. One bedroom having its own en-suite helps when you have an early riser trying not to wake everyone.

Fistral Beach is a 500-metre walk from the door - about 5 minutes. The South West Coast Path runs 250 yards from the building, connecting north to Towan Beach (0.9 miles along the headland) and south to Crantock (0.8 miles across the estuary). Newquay town centre, with its restaurants, pubs, and surf shops, is 15 minutes on foot. Surf hire and lessons are available directly on Fistral, and the beach has lifeguard cover throughout summer.

Best for families or two couples wanting a front-row seat to Cornwall’s most consistent surf beach. Less suitable for guests who want coastal quiet - Fistral gets busy from June onwards, and the development is squarely in the middle of the action.
