Great Western Beach is a great family beach as being so close to Newquay town it can get quite busy but its still one of the quieter ones nearby. At low tide there are rock pools for the children to find Cornish marine life and during low tide you can you can walk to neighbouring beaches, Tolcarne and Lusty Glaze. Surrounding Great Western are high cliffs which tower over the beach giving some protection from winds but they do cast a shadow later in the afternoon but be careful as these cliff edges are eroding and could potentially fall.
