The first five photos today are looking down on Newquay Harbour.
The story of the harbour goes way back a long way. In 1439 a new quay was built in the manor, then called, Towan Blystra. The quay, though, became referred to locally as the 'new quay' - and this is how the town of Newquay got it's name.
Looking across now from the harbour.
A short walk further along the front leads to more beaches.
From here I followed my footsteps, back in the direction of the harbour. I arrive at Towan Beach and the house on Towan Island as seen below.
If you now continued walking over the 'mound', as seen in the next photo, you would arrive at the popular Fistral Beach famed for its surfing - as seen in the final photo of today's post
Thanks for visiting my blog, could do with lots of sunshine now!
Good wishes ~ Mike
The rain and drizzle seems to have around for so long your photos are a pleasant, colourful relief from the gloom. We seem to get one sunny day a week so have to make the most of it.

DeleteThanks for this David. I always enjoy a dose of Newquay, especially the harbour :) We were there last in February - for a birthday lunch at the Sushi restaurant with the gorgeous Australian chef x
