Watergate Bay
Watergate Bay is a stunning destination on Cornwall’s north coast, known for its expansive sandy beach and dramatic Atlantic waves. It’s the perfect spot for a holiday, offering a blend of relaxation and adventure that makes it appealing to families, couples, and solo travellers alike.
The two-mile stretch of golden sand is ideal for sunbathing, beach games, and long coastal walks, with the impressive cliffs and rolling waves providing a breathtaking backdrop. The beach is particularly popular with surfers thanks to its consistent swell, making it a hotspot for watersports enthusiasts from around the world.
Beyond the beach, Watergate Bay offers a fantastic selection of places to eat and drink. The renowned Beach Hut is a favourite spot for post-surf refreshments, serving up hearty beachside classics like burgers, seafood, and their famous hot chocolate. For something more refined, Zacry’s on the Sea Wall combines modern British cuisine with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and stunning ocean views — the perfect place for a sunset dinner.
Nature lovers will be captivated by the area’s rugged beauty. The South West Coast Path runs through Watergate Bay, offering incredible cliff-top walks with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. A popular route is the walk to Mawgan Porth or Bedruthan Steps, where you’ll encounter dramatic rock formations and hidden coves along the way. Wildlife enthusiasts may also spot seals, dolphins, and a variety of seabirds while exploring the coastline.
Whether you’re looking for a thrilling adventure on the waves, a romantic coastal escape, or a family-friendly beach holiday, Watergate Bay offers it all. Its combination of natural beauty, excellent amenities, and laid-back charm makes it a brilliant destination that you’ll want to return to again and again.
