Newquay Stag Do

When it comes to stag do activities in Newquay, the action is all centred around the sea, the beach and the coast. The famous Boardmasters Festival is held here every summer, and is definitely worth checking out if you’re planning an August stag. But make sure you book early as tickets get snapped up almost as soon as they go on sale, and hotels naturally get rammed. If your group are outdoorsy types, this is a brilliant option, and our expert Event Planners are ready and waiting to share their knowledge.

As we’ve already mentioned, the beaches in Newquay are simply incredible! There are 11 of them, making up seven miles of golden sand in total - so it makes perfect sense for the focus of your stag weekend to be the beach. As an example, we can arrange a Surfing Lesson for you, where you and the guys can learn how to ride those waves. The organisers will ensure you’re in an area with surf suitable for your experience level, so even novices can expect to catch the odd wave by the end of a 90-minute session. 

Or, if you feel the need for speed, then you may want to book a Jet Ski Taster Session. This activity is seriously fun, and entirely addictive. For an adrenaline rush of a different kind, why not get competitive and opt for Beach Volleyball Court Hire. Divide into teams and embrace beach life - mankinis not mandatory - except for the stag, of course. 

Naturally, Newquay is also home to many of the most popular classic stag do activities like Bubble Football and Quad Biking. And there are also plenty of awesome experiences here that you rarely see elsewhere. Coasteering is amazing fun, seeing you and the guys get into your wetsuits before scrambling, sliding and swimming through the sea, jumping off rocks and exploring caves. You could also take a sea safari by boat, perhaps combining it with a fishing trip, which is always great for groups that don’t know each other too well.

Inland, there’s Hangloose at Eden Project, which must be the most adventurous day out in Cornwall. Stag groups can book a range of packages featuring combinations of activities that include ziplining, giant swings, base jumping and leaping into a giant airbag. It’s a 45-minute drive from Newquay so be sure to think ahead regarding transport there and back. 

With all these thrilling activities, you’ll soon be getting hunger pangs. For the best places to eat on a Newquay stag weekend head to the high street, or check out the venues along the beach. Newquay serves crowds of visitors every summer, so whether you’re in the mood for a hearty Mexican meal, a spicy Indian feast, or a traditional roast dinner, you can find it here. And of course there are plenty of eateries where you can tuck into the ‘catch of the day’ fresh off the boat. If you take a fishing trip and get lucky, they might even offer to cook up your catch for you. If you want to opt for something tried and tested, we can also book you a table at popular stag venues including Walkabout. 

Snacking on a classic Cornish Pasty or five is a must when in Newquay. Stock up at Morris Pasties in the town centre, which has been trading for over 45 years, uses the finest locally-produced ingredients, and is reckoned to be the best in Newquay. There’s a variety of fillings to choose from, as well as sausage rolls and savoury turnovers galore.
