One of Cornwall's more spectacular rural beaches with 2 miles of golden sand at low tide backed by 300 foot cliffs. There is car parking right behind the beach, shop facilities, food is available too. One of Cornwall's gems. Watergate Bay is an excellent destination for a brisk walk with a purpose. It is about an hour's walk along the Coastal Path north from Newquay.
Life guards on duty in Season.
Fistral Beach Newquay is indeed spoilt with several of the best surfing beaches in Cornwall. Fistral facing the Atlantic is very popular with surfers of all abilities. Venue for International Surfing Competitions. Like Watergate Bay and many other Cornish surf beaches surfing tuition is available from Professional Coaches. Several areas are kept for swimmers alone.
