Newquay
Newquay is now a major tourist destination in Cornwall, principally on account of the 10 long and accessible sandy beaches. In former times it was a small fishing village, famous for pilchards.The resort styles itself "The Surfing Capital of Britain", and is also known for the "Run to the Sun" event, which always takes place during the public holiday on the last weekend in May. Multitudes of people descend on the town in Volkswagen Camper vans, Beetles and other custom cars.
The town should not be confused with New Quay in Wales.
