What are the most important things to pack in my suitcase when travelling to Newquay?

Newquay is a popular British seaside resort which sees large numbers of tourists flock to its sandy beaches each year. What to pack depends when you are visiting and what you're looking for in a holiday. If you're heading to the beaches, pack a windbreaker, beach towels, sunscreen, and a waterproof pouch for your valuables, car keys, etc. By contrast if you are planning to focus on the shops, attractions, or coastal walking paths, bring layers of clothing and comfortable walking shoes. Although temperatures can be milder than other parts of the UK, you should expect cooler evenings in autumn and spring, and strong winds or rain in winter, so don't forget the waterproofs.
