|  | | Watergate Bay on the North Coast of Cornwall |
|  | One of Cornwall's most popular surfing beaches here and suitable for every ability level. |
 | |  | Watergate Bay near Newquay is suitable for all ability ranges. The three-mile exposed sandy beach faces W and picks up any SW to NW swell and NE to S are offshore. Don’t bother going there if the swell’s big (over 6ft) as it just closes out. High tide banks just south of the hotel can be good. At low to mid there are peaks every 50m to choose from. Strong rips at west and eastern end. Good parking and facilities. Mellower vibe than Newquay although can get very crowded when it's on.  | | Click on locations to take you to the corresponding beach guides. |
