Watergate Bay and Porth

Tucked away just a short walk between Newquay and watergate bay Porth is a delightful sheltered cove with a long sandy beach at road level. Porth island on the eastern side of the beach is the site of an Iron age settlement which can be reached by foot bridge.

Watergate Bay is a superb stretch of golden sands that provides plenty of extreme water sports and beach chilling. Here you can indulge in surfing, kite-surfing, kite buggying and wave skiing - all for hire with expert tuition and lifeguard cover on hand between May and September. You may decide to treat yourself to breakfast, lunch or dinner at the Jaime Oliver inspired fifteen restaurant.

There is a stunning coastal walk between Porth and Watergate Bay which isn’t too taxing on the legs and you can grab refreshment at the The Hotel & Extreme Academy hotel in Watergate Bay with terrace overlooking the sea.
