About

Newquay Central & Pentire ward encompasses the historic heart of the town and the adjacent Pentire headland. The central area is defined by its narrow streets leading to the harbour and the long stretch of Towan Beach. This is the main commercial and retail hub, containing the principal shops, banks, and the railway station. The architecture is a mix of traditional stone buildings and modern developments catering to the visitor economy.

The ward extends west onto the Pentire Peninsula, a residential area with dramatic coastal scenery. The headland offers panoramic views across the Atlantic and is home to the Huer's Hut, a whitewashed lookout used historically to spot pilchard shoals. Paths lead around the grassy cliffs to Fistral Beach, a globally recognised destination for surfing. The landscape here contrasts sharply with the bustling town centre just a short walk away.
