Why Newquay?
Hit the beach or paint the town red with a fun-packed stag do in Newquay. You’ll probably know this popular city to be an utter surfer’s paradise. Fistral Beach is famous for its powerful waves and international surfing competitions. However, Newquay boasts 11 eleven breath-taking beaches, so if the groom-to-be enjoys the ocean, exploring rock pools and feeling the sea breeze in his hair, then this is the destination for him.
If you enjoy walking, then an amble along the South West Coast Path offers a stunning view and is 630 miles long! Of course, we don’t recommend you walk the whole route. You can go from Porth Beach to Fistral beach which is three miles (4.8km) and will give you the opportunity to take in the thriving wildlife and gorgeous scenery that Newquay has to offer. It’s also a great way to build up an appetite, ready for an evening of great beer and even better food!
Top 10 Stag Do Activities in Newquay
You can’t go to Newquay for a stag do and not hit the water! If you and the rest of the lads have never surfed, then you’ll want to get some surfing lessons sorted for the big weekend. Luckily, we’ve got some great options on offer with something for everyone from taster sessions to lessons for all abilities! You’ll be kitted out with wetsuits and boards and you’ll head to the sea. Your lessons will be led by an experienced surf instructor who will teach you all the basic skills - it won’t be long till you’re standing up and balancing on your board, although we can’t promise that you won’t fall into the sea!
Paddle boarding is a brilliant activity for a Newquay stag do, that's sure to be a real crowd pleaser with your group. It’s a relaxing activity and you don’t need any prior experience to take part. It’s a cross between surfing and kayaking and you either lay, sit or stand on your board as you navigate your way through the waters. If you’re looking to go all out, then look out for Super SUPs - a giant, stand up paddle board that will fit you and a few of your mates. You’ll all have to work together as you use your paddles to move along - expect plenty of laughs, banter and bonding with this brilliant activity!
Round up your squad and get set for a game of footie with a difference! Here, you’ll each wear giant, inflatable zorbs that will cover your top halves, leaving your legs to run free! Forget standard tackling - you’ll be able to crash into your mates and send them flying! And when it comes to goal celebrations, celebrate the right way by doing a somersault in your zorb! You’ll get stuck into a variety of games such as Bulldog and Last Man Standing. Bubble football is quickly being the staple activity for UK based stag do's, so make sure you include this experience into your Newquay stag do itinerary and see why it's so popular!
4) Water sports
With a trip to Newquay, you’ll be spoiled with the amazing choice of water sports on offer! The first thing that springs to mind is probably surfing or paddle boarding - and whilst these are incredible water sports, there’s so many other water based activities that you and the lads can try during your time in Cornwall. From bodyboarding to sea kayaking and everything else in between, there’s something here that every stag group will love. Each activity or lesson will be hosted by a professional instructor, and all wetsuits and equipment will be provided. You’ll be taught all the basics, and then it’ll be time to hit the water!
Ready, aim, fire! If you’re looking for something action packed in Newquay, then make sure you check out our top choice of archery based activities. One of our absolute favourites is Battlezone Archery, which is a combination of paintballing, archery and dodgeball! You’ll split into teams, with the aim being to hit the opposing side with as many arrows as possible. Each arrow will have a special foam tip, so no one gets impaled! Just remember to try and hit the stag with as many arrows as possible!
Are you and the rest of the stag group firm fans of both football and golf? If so, make sure you get a session of footgolf planned into your Newquay stag itinerary, as it’s an epic mash up of these two sports! The aim of the game is to get your ball into the specially adapted holes on a golf course in the fewest moves possible. There’s no clubs here, as you’ll be using your feet to manoeuvre the ball! Forfeit cards will be given if you don’t play by the rules, so make sure you’re on your best behaviour! Expect plenty of fun with this hilarious hybrid game of two, much loved sports!
Up for something that’s different, unique and absolutely Cornish? Then look no further than The Cornish Challenge - ideal for stag do’s in Newquay! You’ll enjoy 2.5 hours on one of Newquay’s most glorious beaches and will take on a variety of games, which include the likes of Tug of War, Volleyball, Aqua Targets and The Lifesaving Challenge! Hosted by a fun and friendly instructor, you'll have an absolute ball as you get stuck into these hilarious games and challenges. Wetsuits and all equipment will be provided for the activity, so that's one less thing to think about!
Just like footgolf, footdarts is yet another brilliant hybrid experience that brings together the joy of both football and darts. How does this insane combination work we hear you say? Well, let us explain it all in a nutshell. You’ll have a giant, inflatable dartboard, and the aim of the game is to score points by kicking the ball at the board. One side will be a classic dart style board, whilst the other side features a design that will truly put your accuracy skills to the test. There will be a variety of games on offer within your footdart experience, perfect for enjoying a bit of healthy competition with the lads
Add a touch of sophistication to the Newquay stag with a spot of wine tasting! It’s the perfect way to unwind at the end of a busy and active day on the beach. During your experience, you and your group will sample a delicious array of wine from across the globe. The experience will be hosted by an expert sommelier who knows a thing or two about a decent wine. Some wine tasting activities will even include food, so ideal if you’re feeling peckish!
If you’re after something nostalgic but also completely daft, then this school sports day experience is for you and your mates. You’ll don colourful bibs and headbands, before splitting into teams and getting stuck into some classic retro games, such as the three-legged race, egg and spoon race and tug of war!
Looking for Stag Do ideas in Newquay?
If the groom-to-be loves being active, then they’ll be in their element during a stag party in Newquay. Not only is there lots of walking and exploring to be done, but you can try your luck in a hilarious game of a Bubble Football.
This activity is a fantastic twist on the beautiful game and is guaranteed to be enjoyed by any footie-loving lad on their stag do in Newquay. You’ll each climb into a giant inflatable zorb that will encase your entire body, leaving your legs to run around freely. No amount of shooter skills or dribbling expertise will help you gain possession of the ball as you’ll have a hard enough time trying to stay balanced! You’ll need to roll, barge and bump into each other as you complete fun challenges and score the most points for your team.
A game of Bubble Football in Newquay comes with your personal referee, footie pitch and inflatable zorbs. There will be forfeits for the losers, so you’ll need to keep your wits about you if you want to avoid being caught out! This will make a fantastic addition to your stag weekend in Newquay and cause so much hilarity that you’ll be reminiscing about these memories for years to come. Don’t worry, the giant bubbles are open at the top, so you’ll have plenty of air to breathe. Although, we do recommend you wear shorts and t-shirts because the zorbs can get pretty sweaty!

There are lots of Newquay Stag do ideas that’ll get your adrenalin-pumping and your spirits soaring. You’ll be in such a beautiful location, there’s no doubt you’ll want to be outside and enjoying the fresh air, so why not book onto Xtreme Archery? This is a fantastic stag do activity that combines archery and netball, making a thrilling game that’ll see you shooting at your mates, hiding behind obstacles and dodging incoming arrows. The arrows will be rubber-tipped, and you’ll be geared up in helmets and safety gear – so you can go wild without the risk of hurting each other. You’ll split into two teams and will need to work together to infiltrate the other side. An event organiser will be keeping watch to track points and hand-out any forfeits.
SurfingYou’re going to get hot and sweaty, so to cool down, you could head down to the beach and take a dip in the sea or hire a surfboard. Just be careful – you don’t want any of your mates going overboard! (Although, it will make some hilarious memories). We got a great choice of surfing experiences and lessons in Newquay, and let's face it - would it really be a trip to Cornwall without hitting the water and enjoying a bit of adrenaline in the waves? We think not!
For something a little more chilled out during your Newquay stag weekend, but still with a dose of friendly competition, you can try your feet at footgolf. This experience uses the same techniques as footie but has the gentleness of a game of golf. You’ll be kicking footballs into oversized holes as you attempt to achieve a hole-in-one. To make this game extra silly, we recommend you dress up in classic golf clothes so that you really step into character. You’ll play a series of fun challenges including longest drive, closest to the pin and more and there will be forfeits for the losers – so avoid stacking up on those birdies!
