Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Watergate Bay

Holiday cottages in Watergate Bay are perfect for visitors planning to surf or explore the South West Coast Path. The beach is a long stretch of golden sand overlooked by towering cliffs. Approaching the bay on the coastal road, there are spectacular views of the Atlantic waves rolling in. Watergate is one of North Cornwall’s best surf spots, thanks to the beach’s uninterrupted sandy shore and western-facing angle. On self-catering holidays in Watergate Bay, Novices are advised to book a lesson with Westcountry Surf School or Blue Surf School.

Wax Bar and Restaurant has a balcony where you can watch the sunset with a pint of local beer and serves excellent coffee and burgers. Nearby, the Beach Hut serves delicious meat and fish dishes prepared with the best Cornish produce. The hamlet of Tregurrian lies just behind the beach, with a variety of holiday accommodation clinging to the steep sides of the valley. One of the world’s most famous footpaths, the South West Coast Path, will be a stone’s throw from your holiday cottage in Watergate Bay. Follow the path north, and you will soon reach the sandy beach of Mawgan Beach, where there are a couple of cafes, a grocery and a pub. Further on, Constantine has a huge crescent-shaped bay, while Harlyn is one of the area’s few north-facing surf spots. 

Follow the coast south, and you will reach Newquay, a lively resort with loads of shops and places to eat and drink. Newquay has several sandy beaches, legendary nightlife, and family attractions, including a zoo and an aquarium. Other top Cornwall attractions, such as the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, are scenic drives to the southeast from Watergate Bay.
