The Beach Hut on the beach at Watergate Bay is a laid-back, stylish seaside restaurant known for its relaxed vibes, floor-to-ceiling views across Watergate Bay, and vibrant menu that celebrates fresh, local produce. Right on the sand, it’s a go-to spot whether you’re coming off the waves in your wetsuit or dressing up for a sunset dinner. With its rustic-chic interiors and panoramic windows, it effortlessly blends beachy charm with contemporary comfort.

From hearty breakfasts and fresh seafood to cocktails served with a sea breeze, the Beach Hut has food and drink to suit surfers fresh from the water, families on a full day out, and those staying for a sunset dinner. Guests can dine inside or out on the deck, with the sound of the surf just steps away. It’s particularly popular for its legendary burgers, wood-fired dishes, and seasonal specials - all best enjoyed with sandy toes and salty air. The menu is varied and caters for all tastes including vegetarian, and the Beach Hut runs different themed nights throughout the year such as Moroccan night with food and entertainment, plus a Christmas bonfire on the beach.

The Beach Hut welcomes families and dogs alike - you don’t need to have a full meal, you can just stop by for a drink and a cake to rest from your day on the beach. You will need to park in one of the car parks at the top and walk down to the beach. There are plenty of activities on Watergate Bay Beach so you can make a day of it. This is just down the road from Mawgan Porth and just around the corner from Newquay. We have some fantastic options for accommodation in both areas.

Best Family Hotels in Cornwall

Best Family Hotels in Cornwall

Cornwall has more family-friendly hotel options than most people expect - it is not just cottages and caravan parks. From 4-star cliffside resorts with dedicated kids' clubs and surf schools to Victorian seafront hotels with heated pools and holiday parks with water flumes and beachside lodges, there is a range that spans every budget. The north coast from Bude to Mawgan Porth concentrates the biggest resort hotels, while St Ives and Falmouth offer more classic hotel stays with beaches on the doorstep. One practical note: peak summer weeks (late July and August) at the better-known hotels fill 6 or more months in advance - the Headland and Bedruthan in particular book solid by Christmas for the following summer.
