Watergate Bay Beach Info | Cornwall Coast

Watergate Bay in Newquay has a two-mile stretch of sandy beach at low tide. An action-packed beach with excellent facilities, beachside restaurants and dogs are welcome at Watergate Bay all year round.

Watergate Bay is a good beach for surfers of all experience levels, including novices, with a mid-high tide sandy beach break (left and right). SE wind direction is generally considered the best surf conditions.

It is a good kitesurfing location due to the large beach and a very good kitesurfing learning spot due to the shallow beach with lots of space. Note that kitesurfing is not allowed between lifeguard flags during the peak season.

The beach has local shops, a car park, a cafe, toilets, surf school & hire, toilets and a seasonal lifeguard. If you want to head into Newquay this is a good 45-minute to an hour walk.
