Situated on prestigious Headland Road within the contemporary Zinc development, this bright and airy apartment sits right at the intersection of wild coastal beauty and town convenience.
As you step into the main living space, your eye is drawn straight to floor-to-ceiling glass windows framing rolling fairways and the ocean horizon beyond.

The fully equipped kitchen comes fitted with modern appliances, including an oven, hob, dishwasher, and washing machine, allowing you to whip up everything from quick post-surf breakfasts to full evening dinners.
Master Bedroom: Features a king-size bed, ample wardrobe storage, and crisp coastal decor for a restful night’s sleep away from street noise.
Second Bedroom: Offers two single beds (or bunk setup), making the property flexible for families, small groups of friends, or couples seeking extra space.
Bathroom: A clean, modern full bathroom with a deep bathtub and overhead power shower.
The Coastal Holiday Experience
Staying here isn't just about the apartment—it's about the lifestyle right outside your front door:
Morning: Grab a warm pastry and fresh flat white from the nearby coastal cafes, then take a 3-minute stroll down to world-famous Fistral Beach to check the swell or watch local surfers tackle the Atlantic surf.
Afternoon: Walk right onto the South West Coast Path around Towan Headland for dramatic cliff views, or challenge yourself on the 18-hole links at Newquay Golf Course directly opposite. Surfboard, wetsuit, and SUP hires are available just a minute’s walk down the road.
Evening: Fire up a sunset meal on the balcony, or leave the car parked and stroll 5–10 minutes into Newquay town center or down to the harbor. Choose between world-class seafood at The Fish House Fistral, casual sourdough pizzas at The Stable, or Rick Stein’s beachfront takeaway.
No matter the time of year—whether it's sunbathing and bodyboarding in July or watching dramatic winter Atlantic storms roll across the peninsula—this home offers a front-row seat to Cornwall’s most iconic coastline.
The Neighbourhood:
Headland Road is arguably one of the most desirable addresses in Newquay. Occupying a narrow peninsula ridge that juts out into the Atlantic, it acts as a physical barrier separating the wild waves of Fistral Beach to the west from the rolling greens of Newquay Golf Course and the town harbor to the east.
Because of its unique geography, properties along Headland Road enjoy dual-aspect coastal perspectives: ocean horizons on one side and green links on the other.
Key Highlights of Headland Road
The Gateway to Fistral Beach: The road slopes gently down directly onto the northern end of Fistral Beach. It serves as the primary pedestrian route for surfers, bodyboarders, and sunset watchers heading down to the beach or visiting the Fistral Surf Centre.
Home to Iconic Architecture:
The Headland Hotel: Anchoring the tip of the road sits the grand, red-brick Victorian hotel built in 1900. Famous as the filming location for Roald Dahl's The Witches (1990), it sits dramatically on the cliff edge.
Zinc & Modern Coastal Developments: Further down toward town, Victorian villas sit alongside contemporary luxury complexes like Zinc and Pearl, built with floor-to-ceiling glass to maximize Atlantic views.
Direct Access to Towan Headland: Continuing past the residential strip leads directly to the open headland. Here you’ll find:
The Huer’s Hut: The historic 14th-century white watchtower.
The Little Fistral Reef: A quieter, rockier section of coastline popular for rockpooling and watching huge winter swells hit the Cribbar reef break.
Fistral Lifeboat Station: The active RNLI station positioned at the tip of the headland.
Vibe & Atmosphere: Unlike the high-density retail strips of Bank Street or Central Square, Headland Road feels spacious and airy. The soundtrack here isn't traffic—it's crashing surf, sea breezes, and the gentle chatter of golfers on the links opposite.
