As the weather intensifies, this Wales destination, as well as travel planning, will not be missed during the upcoming heat wave at the end of this month. The UK is not known for its tropical weather, but warnings have been given for upcoming heat waves, which could only be the perfect road trip holiday hotspot.
Newquay is an idyllic town surrounded by Ceredijone, near Wales' sought after Cardigan Bay, and is what we call one of the best seaside towns in the UK. HolidayCars.com has been offering a convenient roundup of the best towns at the sea, with charming day trips, much-loved restaurants, and rewarding fun with kids. The new Quay has taken one of the top spots.
It is a small but powerful town and has not yet been handed over by tourists, so it works as a perfect place for a weekend of sunshine. And there are three distinctly different beaches so there is a lot to explore.
The picturesque Harbour Beach main strip of Newquay is a new quay main beach lined with charming terraced houses overlooking the water often occupied by kayaking, boating and paddleboarding. The town became famous after the 19th century. This is still known today thanks to the construction of a stone pier that helped increase trading and fishing in the area.
Plus, the harbor is a destination for water activity, a popular spot for fishing, voyages and sea trips, and a trip to the sea where you can find both dolphins and seals. In fact, one of the town's top-rated excursions is the Seamer Dolphin Watching Boat Trips, which travelers claim to be “great from start to finish.”
There are plenty to choose from, and tourists and locals can take you to the sea for a popular fishing trip if you are looking for more sea adventures. On the other hand, a much more natural alternative, Traeth Gwyn Beach is perfect for walking and exploring your dog. The Drau is a quaint, refuge beach in the area, located west of the vibrant harbor.
Famous poet Dylan Thomas has a connection to the Blissful Town, and is thought to capture its essence in his work. Between 1944 and 1945, the Welsh poet with his wife rented a charming cliff top bungalow over the bay. His poem is entitled You Can Water Milk and is a tribute to the new Quay Pub, and his wife speaks publicly of his love for the town.

Caitlyn Thomas once described Newquay as the poet's “somewhere” and added “the ocean before him and the pub he felt at home in the evening.” It is this simple lifestyle that attracts tourists across the UK to picturesque towns decades later.
Heading towards the hidden gems, it takes 2.5 hours from the capital, Cardiff, and about an hour and a half from Swansea business.
