Perfectly positioned, just metres from soft pale sand, with sweeping views of the turquoise harbour, this modern apartment is an idyllic spot in the heart of Newquay. In the living space, a neutral colour scheme is lifted by eyecatching art prints but it’s the views of the glittering sea that steal the limelight. Begin your morning on your private balcony, watching the gulls claw the air and the tide crawl in as your clan sets the table ready for a hearty breakfast. Then slap on the sun cream and make haste to the famous Fistral Beach, only ten minutes by foot from your building. After catching a wave or digging around in rock pools, head inland to traditional pubs for Sunday roasts and Bloody Marys. Return home to watch the sunset from your enviable vantage point before falling into bed, exhausted and satisfied at the end of another sublime day on the Cornish coast.
