New Quay has fishing from Traethgwyn, which extends from the breakwater to Llanina Point. It is a sandy beach fishing on to a mixed bottom of sand and rock. Fish include conger, bass, mullet, huss, plaice, garfish, mackerel, whiting, dabs, dogfish. Traethgwyn’s access from New Quay is by walking along the beach from the breakwater, however care must be taken as it is possible to be stranded on the rocks by the incoming tide. Access also possible by taking the road immediately to the east of Quay West Caravan Park, signposted “Cei Bach” and following this round to a parking above the east end of the beach, by Llanina Point. Newquay also has fishing opportunities from several beaches, a pier, a breakwater, a harbour and rock marks, which are available at the ends of some beaches, fishing onto similar ground as the relevant beach.
