GREAT WESTERN BEACH

watergate bay

DESCRIPTION

PET FRIENDLY

PARKING

FACILITIES

At low tide the beach at Watergate Bay becomes a vast expanse of unbroken golden sand backed by high cliffs. Watergate can be considered the first of a succession of fabulous beaches leading to (and through) Newquay. The bonus is with it’s size and distance from the town (2 miles) you can still find a quiet piece of sand to yourself.

The beach is set between the cliffs Trevelgue Head to the south and Stem Point in the north and the coast path here is well worth exploring. The neighbouring beaches of Porth and Mawgan Porth appear positively diminutive compared the stretch of Sand at Watergate Bay.

Dogs welcome all year.

There are 2 car parks towards the middle of the beach both of which charge.

The facilities include a beach side cafe, restaurant, toilets and shop.
