This contemporary apartment sits just moments from the shoreline of Watergate Bay – an ideal base for families, couples and surf enthusiasts on the North Cornwall coast. The beat of your heart in the surf, the taste of fried fish and juicy burgers, the sea salt on your skin – it's all part and parcel of Watergate Bay, the adrenaline junkie's paradise. Perfectly placed to enjoy the buzz of the bay yet in a quiet, tucked-away position, the property overlooks the gardens and offers a tranquil holiday escape.
Inside, fresh contemporary decor adds a real sense of style to the open-plan living area, which takes in garden views and features a large double sofa bed, a snuggler armchair, Smart TV, Bluetooth speaker and WiFi. A dining table seats five, and the fully equipped kitchen includes a Nespresso machine and washer/dryer. The master bedroom has a zip-and-link king-size bed – convertible to two singles – with a TV and integrated DVD player. Additional sleeping space is provided by double and single sofa beds in the living area. The family bathroom has a bath with shower attachment, heated towel rail and WC, and underfloor heating runs throughout. A travel cot, hairdryer, iron, books, DVDs and games are all provided. Outside, designated parking is available for one car, a communal surf shower lets you rinse off after a day on the beach, and a secure storage cage in the basement keeps surf boards, wetsuits and beach toys safe.
Watergate Bay's two miles of sand are popular with surfers and thrill seekers, and a local surf school offers lessons in surfing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and kite surfing – the beach is exposed to incoming Atlantic swell, making it an excellent spot for watersports. Stride out along the coast path with walks to Newquay's seven bays or Mawgan Porth, or settle in at one of the beachfront eateries as scarlet sunsets set the sky alight. The lively atmosphere at Watergate is as constant as the tides, with music festivals and surf competitions running throughout the year.
