Towan Beach is the western-most of the four ajoining beaches (the others being Great Western, Tolcarne and Lusty Glaze) in Newquay, which combine at low tide to cover over a mile of family-friendly sand that holds several little bathing pools for the family. Of the four beaches, the north-facing Towan Beach is situated closest to Newquay town centre. Accessed by steps down from the Killacourt or via a short but steep incline at the end of Beach Road. It is also where you will find Newquay’s most photographed landmark – The Island, nestled just off the coast. The Island’s former owners were famous scientist Sir Oliver Lodge.
