Watergate Bay Wiki Information
Watergate Bay
is a bay located two miles north of Newquay on the B3276 Newquay to Padstow road near the village of Tregurrian in the Borough of Restormel, Cornwall, United Kingdom.
Due to the two mile long, sandy beach and exposed north westerly location, it is a popular location for water sports, kite flying, and sand art. In May, 2007, it played host to the English Nationals Surfing Championships. [1]
The Watergate Bay Hotel and Fifteen Cornwall, a restaurant setup by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, are located just above the beach and there are a number of caravan and camping sites within easy reach.
