Advantages: Right on the coast

Disadvantages: Full of tourists

being a cornwall native, Newquay just depresses the hell out of me. it's full of tourist based shops and is totally geared towards the summer trade. it's famed for it's fantastic surfing beaches, and every year there are countless festivals and competitions held there, each one bringing hoards of tourists to buy all the tat that''s for sale.

it's a shame that Newquay is so dependent on the summer trade, as it could be a really great natural beauty spot, but i really feel like it's been spoilt by the incessant need to please people who are only there for three months out of twelve. the whole town centre needs regenerating and i for one can't wait for it to happen.

If I could chose, I'd take out all the tacky, tourist shops, put in some decent restaurants and bistros, and give it a new lease on life, much like the regeneration of Truro and Falmouth in the last few years.
