Watergate Bay is one of the best beaches in Cornwall, and is instantly recognisable thanks to Boardmasters Festival. It’s a huge stretch of sand, perfect for a long walk, and is well known as a great spot for surfing. There are two car parks, plus the Watergate Bay Hotel, which has three different restaurants, and you can grab excellent coffee from Cubs Coffee. Wavehunters also offers a beachside sauna, making it an even better place to spend the day.
