Blue Reef Aquarium - Newquay

Situated on Towan Beach in the centre of Newquay, opposite the famous island, the Blue Reef Aquarium is a stunning visit.

Be amazed by the local marine species from the Cornish coast to hundreds of tropical species in the gigantic ocean display complete with underwater tunnel.

New for 2004 are the nursery displays with a coral propagation unit which supports Blue Reef's commitment to conservation and breeding.

Blue Reef is part of an exciting new generation of wildlife attractions designed to inspire deeper understanding and appreciation of the natural world.

On a visit to the aquarium, you can discover sea life from sharks, seahorses and clownfish to octopus, crabs and lobsters.

Open-top tanks allow close encounters with friendly rays while 'hands-on' tide-pools and crashing surf displays recreate the seas' many different aspects.

A giant tropical ocean display with its own underwater tunnel, over 30 living displays featuring amazing sea life provide an unforgettable family day out.

Blue Reef is one of the UK's leading aquariums with a commitment to providing education about the marine environment but in a fun and entertaining way.

Regular talks and feeding displays make the aquarium an unforgettable day out for families - whatever the weather.
