Just seconds from the coast path and a stone’s throw from one of the county’s most dazzling bays, this Watergate Bay apartment is an enviable base for guests eager to explore Cornwall’s natural beauty. Glimpses of the sea are visible from multiple vantage points throughout the five-person apartment, while a south-facing balcony boasts an uninterrupted view to enjoy as you sip your coffee each morning. The beach itself is just 150 metres from your doorstep, so you can step out in search of sunbathing, sand and surf, without having far to travel home when you’re sandy, sleepy and ready to call it a day.

This bright, homely apartment is arranged on the second floor of this coastal development, with a shared private car park and surf storage accessible to all guests. Make your way indoors and feel right at home in the open-plan living space, where the lounge, kitchen and diner sit beside patio doors leading onto the fully furnished balcony. The lounge has been designed with a deep L-shaped sofa, Smart TV and Sonos sound system, inviting you to truly rest and recharge after a day on the sand. A coastal-inspired master bedroom features a delightful king-size bed just off the main hall, while a second bunk bedroom also features a trundle bed to host an additional guest – ideal for children. Both bedrooms share a family bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower.

Those itching for adventure will be pleased to find a surf school just 150 metres away, where surfing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and kitesurfing are all offered when Atlantic conditions are right. For those who prefer to stay on dry land, the coast path stretching out in either direction provides a never-ending array of spectacular scenery, including towards Mawgan Porth (2 miles) and the Trevose Head Heritage Coast beyond (3 miles).

The location of this apartment could not be better for Watergate Bay. We had a great week and would choose The Waves again as it was quiet and had everything we wanted. Number 8 would benefit from some updating though and has the appearance of a well used apartment, although it was clean and has everything we needed.
