Map and Local Area
Watergate Bay
Watergate Bay is located four miles north of the popular holiday destination Newquay. It is famous for its long sandy beach, Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen restaurant and more recently the television programme Echo beach was filmed at the bay.

Watergate Bay beach boasts two miles of beautiful golden sands and is an excellent play ground for adrenalin fuelled water sports such as surfing, wind surfing, kite surfing, wave skiing and mountain boarding as well as being an ideal place just to sit and relax with the family.
If you're feeling energetic The Extreme Sports Academy is based on the beach at Watergate Bay and offers tuition for various extreme activities. Lessons are best booked in advance to avoid disappointment as courses can book up quickly. Wetsuits, surfboards, body boards and wave skis can also be hired on an hourly basis or for a full day from the beachside shops.

Within Watergate Bay itself you will be spoilt for choice when wanting to dine. Choices range from The Beach Hut, where you can enjoy a hearty breakfast or a lazy lunch while watching the surfers take to the sea to Jamie Oliver's Fifteen restaurant where you can enjoy an innovative menu of the best seasonal and local produce. 

Watergate Bay beach is patrolled by lifeguards throughout the summer months and has excellent facilities; toilets, car parks, shops, restaurants and is also dog friendly.

There is an excellent cliff walk to the next beach along (south), Whipsiderry, while a further walk along the coast path will take you into Newquay. In the other direction you can reach Berryl's Point, Mawgan Porth and Bedruthan Steps
