5 Fantastic Reasons To Visit Newquay In September/October

Over one millions Brits head to Newquay each year on their holidays and the vast majority visit during July and August. Getting the kids out of school aside, us locals have always wandered why so few people visit during September and October, and here’s why..

1. The Roads Are Quieter & So Are The Beaches

If you’ve ever spent the last week in August and the first week in September in Cornwall, you’ll know exactly what we’re talking about. Driving to the beach goes from taking 25 minutes to 10 minutes and when you get there, rather than looking for a spot of sand to sit on, there isn’t a sole in sight.

2. The Sea Is At Its Warmest

After a whole summer to warm up, the sea is usually at its warmest during September, with temperatures reaching a dizzying 17 degrees! Mediterranean who?

3. Fly To Newquay From Just £35!

That’s right, you can fly to Newquay in just over an hour with prices from just £35! Fly from many destinations, including Gatwick, Liverpool and even Belfast with Flybe. For the very best prices, check out http://www.skyscanner.net/

4. The Accommodation Is Cheaper

What happens when visitor numbers plummet and hotels have lots of empty beds to sell? Even some of the very best hotels drop their prices to entice visitors to book with them and that opens up some fantastic bargains! A whole weekend in a double room at Hotel Sunnyside can be had for under £100!

5. The Weather Is Glorious

Ask any local about the weather in September and they’ll tell you how every year we get washed out in August but September is usually glorious sunshine. Combine that with quiet beaches, warm sea temperatures and cheaper accommodation for a winning combination.
