This live camera looks out over Newquay, the surf town on the north coast of Cornwall in south-west England. It is useful for a quick check of conditions before heading to the coast, or simply for watching the Atlantic weather roll in.

About Newquay

Newquay sits on a high, exposed headland above the Atlantic, and it has grown from a fishing and mining village into one of the best-known surfing destinations in Britain. Its beaches are sandy and backed by cliffs, and the town has a lively, youthful character in summer. Cornwall as a whole is known for its granite coastline, fishing harbours and a strong Celtic heritage, and Newquay is the centre of much of that coastal activity.

What the camera shows

Depending on the view, you may see the town's rooftops, the coastline and the sea beyond. Coastal weather changes quickly here, so the most interesting moments are often when clouds move across the water or when swell builds up in the morning. Winter storms bring large waves and dramatic light, while summer evenings tend to be calm and bright, with the sun setting late in the west.

Climate and getting around

Newquay has a mild maritime climate, with cool winters, warm summers and rain at any time of year. The best months for visiting are typically May to September. Nearby, the Newquay Golf course and the Porthbeach area are close enough to explore on foot or by car, and the other cameras listed on this page show the wider area for comparison.
