The Beach Hut on the beach at Watergate Bay is a laid-back, stylish seaside restaurant known for its relaxed feel, big windows across Watergate Bay and a menu built around local produce. Right on the sand, it suits a post-surf meal in a wetsuit or a sunset dinner.
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. Burgers and wood-fired dishes are regulars on the menu alongside seasonal specials, and vegetarian options are available. The Beach Hut has run themed nights through the year, such as a Moroccan night with food and entertainment, plus a Christmas bonfire on the beach. Check the Watergate Bay website for current opening times and events.
The Beach Hut welcomes families, and well-behaved dogs are allowed on a lead - 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 list holiday accommodation in both areas.

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 cliffside resorts with kids' clubs and spas to Victorian seafront hotels with indoor pools and holiday parks with water flumes and woodland 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 early, so book the Headland and Bedruthan well ahead.

Here are the hotels we recommend.
