The surroundings
Watergate Lodge sits at the heart of Cornwall’s coastal spectrum, nestled between the countryside’s deep green fields and coastline’s stretching blue ocean. Head through planted gardens down a meandering path to Watergate Bay’s rolling sand in moments.
The beat of your heart in the surf, the taste of fresh fish, woodfired pizza and irresistible local ice cream to refuel before returning to the waves, the salt in the air and on your skin, all day long. It's all part of the Watergate Bay experience, an adrenalin seeker’s paradise and an energised shot of Cornish north coast spirit.
Scarlet sunsets light the sky as you eat fresh local produce prepared with flair in the shoreside restaurants, or sip warming hot chocolate from a cliff top lookout after a day on the sand. Watergate's two miles of beach are popular with families, couples and dogs alongside surfers and water lovers. Strike out along the coast path, with nearby walks to Newquay's seven bays or Mawgan Porth.
Plunge into water sports lessons with Wavehunters, where you can try your hand at surfing, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding and kite surfing. The beach is exposed to incoming swell from the Atlantic, making it an excellent place for water activities of all kinds.
The lively atmosphere at Watergate is as constant as the tide, with vibrant music festivals and surf competitions running throughout the year.Strolling distance
