Newquay is blessed with a vast array of beautiful beaches – in fact, we have a whopping 12 to choose from! Many of our beaches are dog-friendly and family-friendly, but they’re also perfect for couples too. Take a romantic stroll and write your loved one’s name in the sand, before snuggling up together on a picnic blanket to watch the sunset. What better way to show your other half just how much they mean to you?!
Some of our favourite romantic beaches in Newquay that are perfect for admiring the sunset include Lusty Glaze Beach, Perranporth Beach, Watergate Bay, Holywell Bay and Fistral Beach. All are situated under a 20-minute drive from The Beeches Glamping, too!

Newquay is home to some of Britain’s most glorious gardens, offering the most romantic day out. Spend your afternoon rekindling your romance amongst one of nature’s finest hidden gems, before settling down for the night in your luxury glamping pod.
The Eden Project is one of Cornwall’s most iconic tourist attractions, boasting huge biomes that feature tropical plants from around the world, as well as the largest indoor rainforest. Alternatively, you could spend your afternoon getting lost together at The Lost Gardens of Heligan, or head to The Japanese Garden for a moment of mindfulness. The only limit is your imagination!
3) Embark Upon a Wonderful Wine Tasting Experience

Cornwall is the UK’s finest wine-tasting region, with vibrant vineyards around every corner. Feel the sparks fly as you sip on delicious local wine and discover more about the fascinating process of wine making. Camel Valley Vineyard and Trevibban Mill Vineyard are both around 20 minutes drive away from our luxury glamping site, offering spectacular views and exquisite wines in the most romantic setting.
If you’re not a big wine fan, you can enjoy a variety of other fantastic tasting experiences in Cornwall. Healey’s Cornish Cyder Farm offers tours and tasting at their brewery, whilst Tarquin’s Cornish Gin Distillery Tour is perfect for you gin lovers out there.

Nothing says romance like wining and dining your other half in the most spectacular setting. Newquay is the ideal destination for all you foodies out there, boasting fine dining restaurants, relaxed beach bars, and everything in between.
If panoramic views are your cup of tea, we highly recommend booking a table at Lewinnick Lodge. Situated on the headland and looking out over the fantastic Fistral Beach, you won’t find a better place for dinner with a view. Or try fine dining at the newly arrived Ugly Butterfly 2.0 by Adam Handling which is now inside The Headland Hotel, the oldest hotel in Newquay. Colonial Beach Restaurant is also one of our favourites, delivering contemporary dishes and authentic flavours. Alternatively, The Fish House on Fistral Beach is renowned for its seafood, serving up locally caught fish and shellfish straight from Newquay harbour. Or nestled away from Newquay, but only 4 minutes drive from the Beeches Glamping, is the Tartan Fox by Adam Handling offering relaxed but still high quality dining.
5) Treat Yourselves to a Luxury Spa Day

If you’re looking for a romantic yet relaxing activity, why not head to one of Newquay’s luxury spas for the ultimate pamper experience? Enjoy a couple’s massage or solo therapeutic treatment, and leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Champagne optional!
The Fistral Beach Hotel & Spa, the Headland Hotel Spa and the Scarlet Spa all offer reasonably priced spa day packages, allowing you to relax and unwind whilst admiring far-reaching views over the Atlantic Ocean.
