This live feed looks out over Porthbeach in Newquay, on the north Cornish coast. It is a useful way to check how the sea and sky look before heading down to the water. The page also shows local time and the forecast for the town.

About Newquay and its coast

Newquay sits on a headland in north Cornwall and is one of the best-known surfing towns in the United Kingdom. Its beaches face the Atlantic, so the water is often lively and the coastline changes quickly with the tide. The town grew from a fishing and mining community into a holiday destination, and its streets still carry that mix of harbour history and seaside energy. Cornwall as a whole is known for its cliffs, coves and clear light.

What to watch and when

The camera is aimed at the beach, so the most useful thing to check is the surf, the tide line and how crowded the sand looks. Conditions vary a lot with wind direction, and mornings are often calmer than afternoons. Low tide tends to reveal more sand, while high tide can cover most of the beach. Summer brings the busiest scenes, while autumn and winter views are quieter and show the Atlantic in its rougher moods.

Climate and getting around

Newquay has a mild maritime climate, with cool, damp winters and warm, breezy summers. Rain can arrive quickly, so it helps to check the forecast on this page before travelling. The town is reachable by road and rail from the rest of Cornwall. Nearby, the Newquay weather camera and the golf course camera show other parts of the area, and Wadebridge with the Camel Trail is a short drive inland.
