Watergate Bay

Watergate Bay (Standard Written Form: Porth Tregoryan, meaning cove at Coryan's farmstead/village)[citation needed] is a long bay or beach flanked by cliffs centred two miles NNE of Newquay below the B3276 Newquay to Padstow road near the hamlet of Tregurrian in Cornwall, United Kingdom.

The 2-mile (3.2 km) sandy beach and exposed site is popular for non-powered water sports, kite flying,[1] and sand art.

Since May 2007, Watergate Bay hosts the English Nationals Surfing Championships.

The Hotel hoped to cater for railway tourists that were expected to arrive on the Padstow, Bedruthan & St.Mawgan Railway line, which would also extend to Newquay - however the line was never constructed.

Cornish wrestling tournaments, for prizes, were held in Watergate Bay in the 1900s for the "Burnaby Cup".
