Watergate Bay Hotel
Watergate Bay Hotel is so close to the sea you can watch the surfers from the pool. It’s about the balance in life: getting among the elements, eating and drinking well, having a good time with family and friends.
Skate by the Sea
Until 11 January 2026
Cornwall’s first beachside ice rink. Just a few steps from the sand and surf. Christmas lights. Après-skate. Atlantic sunsets. Winter at Watergate Bay just got more magical.
Skate sessions now open for the Christmas holidays.
Christmas in the Bay
Our four-night Christmas house party brings breakfast, dinner, Kids’ Zone fun, Christmas Day lunch, and a visit from Father Christmas – all wrapped up with sea air and festive spirit.
Think wreath making by the waves, carols and hot chocolate, surfside skating, Christmas films, live music and Boxing Day dips.
