Ice skating at Watergate Bay
This winter, we’re bringing an ice rink to Watergate Bay for the very first time. Set against the Atlantic with sea views, festive lights and crisp coastal air, it’s skating, reimagined right on the shoreline. Skate in the Bay.
Open from 18 November 2025 to 11 January 2026
Winter skating
Our shoreline ice rink is at the heart of this year’s festivities – open daily to locals, hotel guests, and our Cornish community. Gather with friends, warm up with food and drink, and glide into the festive season.
Monday & Tuesday: 3-8pm
Wednesday & Thursday: 12-8pm
Friday & Sunday: 10am-8pm
Saturday: 11am-9pm
Children finding their feet? Penguin and polar bear skate aids are on hand.
Stay and skate
Take some time to get into the Christmas spirit. Stay the night with a skating session for each guest, free reign of our Swim Club and Kids’ Zone supervised sessions also included. Off the ice, warm up in Wavehunters’ beachside sauna or, if you're feeling brave, dive into a winter surf lesson. Stay and skate from £280 a night.
Skate and pizza
After working up an appetite on the ice, de-boot and and tuck into woodfired pizzas, spice-infused mulled wine, cider and hot chocolate. Or head to The Living Space and try one of our Twelve drinks of Christmas.
Skate and pizza £30 per person
Skate with dinner in The Beach Hut
Kick off with a few laps of the ice rink, then head to The Beach Hut for seasonal winter favourites – all served with sea views and our festival cocktails and winter warmers.
Hire our rink
