Although there were plans to make it a major port for journeys to Ireland, it was never connected to the railway network, but it became a popular holiday resort from the 1870s.
Steamer cruises had been popular for some years, with the Eagle Line taking passengers on day trips from the pier head. Pier Hill is busy with pedestrians but they seem untroubled by cars.
The Pier Pavilion, once popular for concert parties and ballroom dancing, is now being used for roller skating.
It was fortunate that its popularity as a holiday destination brought it a welcome alternative source of income.

It is a popular haunt with the many ramblers who walk the steep paths of the parish.
This was for many years the popular image of surfing and bathing at Newquay, when plywood surfboards were the order of the day - this was long before the coming of wetsuits and fibreglass
