Located on Towan Beach in nearby Newquay, the Blue Reef Aquarium offers a fascinating journey through both local Cornish waters and exotic tropical seas. The absolute centrepiece of the aquarium is the impressive underwater glass tunnel, which allows visitors to walk safely beneath reef sharks, graceful rays, and colourful shoals of fish. It is a captivating experience that provides a genuine diver's-eye view of the ocean, serving as an excellent, all-weather attraction for guests of all ages.
