This south-facing apartment sits just 150 metres from the shoreline of Watergate Bay – the adrenalin junkie's paradise that embodies the spirit of the North Cornwall coast. Head across the road and down the slipway, and you are there. With two bedrooms and fantastic sea views from a full-width balcony, it is well suited to families and couples looking to make the most of Watergate's two miles of sand. The sea salt on your skin, the topaz blue sea and scarlet sunsets setting the sky alight – it's all part and parcel of this stunning stretch of coastline.
Inside, the open-plan living area features a large corner leather sofa, chair and bean bag, alongside a dining table seating six. A television with Freeview, DVD player, WiFi and SONOS music system keep everyone entertained. The fully equipped kitchen includes a washer/dryer for convenience. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, large wardrobe and drawers, while the second bedroom offers full-sized bunk beds with a truckle bed underneath – please note that with the truckle bed in use, bedroom space is limited. The family bathroom has a walk-in double shower, heated towel rail and basin. Underfloor heating runs throughout, and a travel cot, highchair, iron and hairdryer are provided. Step through the patio doors to a large enclosed decking area with chairs, a small table and sea views – perfect for alfresco dining. Designated parking for one car is available, along with a communal outdoor surf shower and a secure storage cage in the basement for surf boards, wetsuits and beach toys. Lift access to the second floor.
Watergate Bay's exposed Atlantic swell makes it an excellent spot for watersports, with lessons available in surfing, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding and kite surfing. Stride out on the coast path for walks to Newquay's seven bays or Mawgan Porth. The lively atmosphere at Watergate is as constant as the tides, with vibrant music festivals and surf competitions running throughout the year. Beachfront eateries offer the perfect setting for dining as the sun goes down.
