Newquay Stag Do's

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!

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.
