Welcome to Tolcarne

Tolcarne is a small village located in the county of Cornwall, England. It is situated on the north coast of Cornwall, near the town of Newquay. The village is known for its beautiful beaches, stunning views, and rich history. Tolcarne is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from all over the world.

One of the main attractions of Tolcarne is its beaches. The village has two main beaches, Tolcarne Beach and Great Western Beach. Both beaches are known for their golden sands, clear waters, and excellent surfing conditions. Tolcarne Beach is particularly popular with families, as it has a range of facilities, including a café, toilets, and a lifeguard service. Great Western Beach is more suited to experienced surfers, as it has larger waves and stronger currents.

Tolcarne also has a rich history, dating back to the Bronze Age. The village was once a thriving fishing community, and evidence of this can still be seen today in the form of the old fishing huts that line the beach. In the 19th century, Tolcarne became a popular destination for wealthy tourists, who came to enjoy the fresh sea air and stunning scenery. Many of the grand Victorian houses that were built during this time still stand today, adding to the village's charm and character.

Local Dog Walks

Watergate Bay
Watergate Bay Is A Two-Mile Stretch Of Golden Sand On The North Cornish Coast, Two Miles From Newquay. A Favourite With Surfers And People Flying Kites (Which Drove My Dog Crazy - Big Multi-Coloured Birds In The Sky!) It Is Dog-Friendly All Year Round. Jame Oliver Has A Restaurant Overlooking The Beach (Probably Not Dog-Friendly, I Don't Know). But The Beach Hut, Which Is Adjacent To The Sand, Is Very Dog-Friendly And Serves Locally Caught Mussels And Very Fine Hamburgers. I Visited In April But I Imagine This Place Gets Mobbed In August.
