The railway line built in Newquay in the 1840s was to provide the link with the town and harbor. Around 1876 a passenger railway line got developed and today Newquay Railway Station is the terminus of the Atlantic Coast Line from Par. The station is very close to the eastern beaches of Newquay. Soon, the town because of its connectivity with the beaches developed into a resort. The rail line of Newquay extends its services during summer to the neighbouring towns and resorts for the convenience of the tourists.
