Stay at Watergate Bay in 2025

Take in the sea views from the 25-metre pool. Relax after a beach walk in one of our dog-friendly rooms. Stride out onto the coast path, sink back with a cocktail, and as the sun begins to set, gather around the table at one of our three restaurants.

A wide open beach, Atlantic ocean waves, and a salty breeze to blow away the cobwebs. Stay and stride from your bedroom to the sand.
