Iconic Photography and Coastal Views at The Headland, Cornwall
The Headland is situated 1/2 a mile from the centre of Newquay right beside Fistral Beach. This Iconic 5-Star Hotel and Spa in Cornwall offers a setting that is broody, magical, and mystical. Everyone has a favourite time of year at The Headland, making it a premier destination for those looking to capture the essence of the coast.
Capturing Mother Nature and Storm Chasing
When the weather turns, Mother Nature shows her strength. The seas lash the cliffs, and the winds batter the coastline, but it's safe and sound at The Headland. At this time of year, storm chasers gather here for the spectacular views from our rooms and restaurants. And when the elements take a rest, you can venture out into a spectacular landscape of low sun, long shadows and crisp salty air, perfect for photography.
Seasonal Light and Landscape Transformations
Cornwall in the spring is fresh and revitalising. During this time, the storms take a break (usually), the sun sits higher in the sky, and the sea calms itself if its playing nicely. It is a great time for coast walking and exploring before high season hits. As the year progresses, you can embrace the beauty of autumn and the changing seasons. From crisp, cool air to the crunch of fallen leaves beneath your feet, autumn is a season of transformation and cosy comforts.
Summer Vistas and Golden Hour
In summer, the beaches fill with families and surfers. Summer sees you all: from dedicated surfers to big family gatherings. There are long balmy evenings spent sipping cocktails on The Headland's veranda overlooking Fistral. Photographers can capture cocktails on the terrace as the sun dips into the sea and enjoy poolside dining with Atlantic views. Notable visual perspectives are often shared by đź“·Edelweiss Air & Loren Bedeli.
