    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Newquay Boat Ramp offers a straightforward entry point for divers exploring the local waters. It’s a decent spot for a shore dive, particularly if you’re looking to get wet and tune up your skills. We've seen various crabs and small fish hunkering down in the rocky crevices. It’s a good choice for newer divers or those who prefer an easy, unchallenging dive without the boat trip.
