Onshore 7

Third-floor apartment in Newquay sleeping 4 in 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a balcony that looks directly down to Towan Beach 100 metres below. Complimentary surf and bodyboards are included in the booking - a practical touch for guests without their own equipment.

Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open-plan living space make it comfortable for two couples or a small family. Underground parking is accessed by lift - useful when arriving with boards or luggage. One well-behaved pet is welcome. WiFi, a dishwasher and a washing machine are provided. A cot and a highchair are available, and a pub or shop is within a mile. Changeover day is Saturday.

Towan Beach is the beach connected to the Island by a footbridge - one of Newquay's most central surf beaches. Great Western Beach is 500 metres east along the seafront. The town centre shops and restaurants are a 2-minute walk inland from the building on Crescent Lane. Tolcarne Beach is 900 metres further east, quieter and more sheltered.

Best for: surf-focused couples or families who want the beach immediately below them with the convenience of parking and free gear. The beach sits immediately below, so wet kit never has far to travel.
