This fun loving chilled pub is in a great spot overlooking Watergate bay beach. The beach is huge and has a whole host of cool activities for the whole family to enjoy. After you have tired everyone out why not head across the road to Wax. This is a more cost effective way of eating than some of the places on the beach, especially if you have hungry young mouths to feed. The atmosphere is relaxed so no one will bat an eyelid if the kids are loud which means you can just relax. On the menu you will find pizzas, burgers and pub classics, all served to a high standard. There is also a kids menu and a kids dessert menu, so they can choose from both. Dietary requirements can be catered for too on request. I would say that calling ahead with any dietary requirements is preferable but not essential. I would recommend booking, especially if you have a large family. For groups of eight or more, phone the pub on 01637 860353. There is a Cornwall Council car park opposite. Watergate bay is just round the corner from Newquay so this is a great little day out, on the beach and then finishing it off with a delicious meal from Wax.

Apartments in Watergate Bay
Watergate Bay is a two-mile arc of west-facing sand on Cornwall's north coast, three miles north of Newquay. The surf is consistent, Wavehunters runs lessons from the beach, and the South West Coast Path crosses the bay. The apartments below range from a one-bedroom for a couple to a three-bedroom sea-view flat that sleeps six, and every one is within about 500 metres of the sand.
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.
Best Luxury Hotels in Cornwall
Luxury in Cornwall comes in several distinct forms. There are the clifftop spa hotels - adults-only escapes with sea-view hot tubs and coastal treatments. There are the Victorian country house hotels set in landscaped grounds with pools, golf, and chauffeur services. And increasingly, there are the food-destination hotels that justify the room rate as much by what's on the plate as the thread count on the pillow. Cornwall has 3 Michelin-starred restaurants: Paul Ainsworth at No.6 in Padstow, Outlaw's Fish Kitchen in Port Isaac, and Ugly Butterfly at the Headland Hotel in Newquay - the latter awarded its first star in February 2026, Newquay's first Michelin star. The hotels listed here represent the strongest options across the county: coast-facing spa resorts on the north coast, 5-star country houses on the Roseland, clifftop properties with direct beach access near St Ives, and a resort-scale property in Fowey. Prices vary by season, with July and August the most expensive, so book peak summer well ahead.
