World Class Coasts: Fistral Named in Corona’s Top 100 Beaches
Big news has rolled in — Fistral Beach has officially been named one of the Top 100 Beaches in the World by Corona Beer, and we’re proud (but not surprised) to say it’s the only UK beach to make the list.
Tucked into the wild Cornish coast, with rolling waves, golden sand, and an unbeatable vibe, Fistral has officially gone global — and we’re here for it.
So, What Makes Fistral So Special?
If you’ve ever felt the salty spray on your face as you watched the surfers do their thing, or soaked up a sunset with fish and chips in hand, you probably already know the answer. But just to spell it out: world-class waves, stunning scenery, and a laid-back surf-meets-style attitude that’s totally unique to Newquay’s crown jewel.
The Surf Capital of the UK
Fistral isn’t just a pretty face — it’s a serious surf destination. Thanks to its Atlantic-facing position, it serves up consistent swell all year round. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or trying to stand upon a board for the first time, this beach is the place to ride your first (or fiftieth) wave. It’s also home to major surf competitions like Boardmasters, where wave chasers, music lovers, and beach goers collide in one epic coastal celebration.
Beyond the Board
Don’t surf? No problem. Fistral has more than enough to keep your toes in the sand and your heart in holiday mode. From stylish beach cafés (like our Bay Bar) and cocktail spots to coastalwalks, dog-friendly dips and dreamy views, it’s the kind of beach you never want to leave — andnow the world knows it too. Most importantly, it’s our home!
A Win for Cornwall – and for You
This global recognition isn’t just a win for us — it’s a celebration of the whole Fistral community: the wave-riders, the sea swimmers, the beach cleaners, the sunset seekers, and everyone who’sever fallen a in love with this place.
And here at Fistral Beach Hotel & Spa, we’re beyond proud to call this iconic stretch of sand our front garden. Whether you’re here for the waves or the wellness, we’ve got everything you need to make your Fistral stay as unforgettable as the view.
