See above sites..  Not a lot to get excited about around Newquay I'm afraid (that is not, unless you're into hordes of pissed up teenagers, stag & hen parties etc. etc... in which case you're all good :great:)

Nearest decent bouldering would probably be Godrevy... which is nice.

There is some limited bouldering at Little Fistral beach but nothing that will keep you entertained for more than an hour or so. Helman Tor is pretty good at the lower grades - few pics of stuff here.

Enjoy.

If you have transport I'd seriously reccomend getting down the coast to Godrevy (around low-tide), it is a good spot and there is plenty of quality to go at across the grades.  If you mission it down to St Ives - Clodgy point etc... is great too and has the added advantage of some non-tidal bouldering.  The granite stuff on Bodmin Moor and at Carn Brea is rough as you like and becomes painful pretty quickly (leave it to the locals or until your last day!).

Beg to differ there.. there's a pretty good circuit at little fistral, plenty to keep you entertained for a few visits if staying there. PM me if you want to directions/beta on problems
