Top 10 Kid Friendly Things To Do and Attractions in Watergate Bay

"Porthmeor Beach Café is directly opposite the buzzy Tate Gallery. A lively café overlooking Porthmeor Beach, it’s the perfect vantage point for watching the surf. The eclectic menu is designed to be shared – order a bunch of small plates, sit back and enjoy the view."

"Come for the stunning alfresco beachside setting (perfect for watching the sunset) and stay for the menu of lively tapas which champions local produce. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a dolphin or two. Want to explore more of Cornwall’s restaurant scene?"

"With Australian Chef Cameron Jennings at the helm, the breakfasts are renowned in St Ives and the tapas menu has an acclaimed reputation with delicious dishes including clams with chorizo and octopus, white bean puree, capers."

"Hidden in a white-sand cove at the foot of St Ives’ Island, this is the lesser-known little sister of the eminent Porthminster Café. A smaller, more relaxed version of its famous relative, here the best local ingredients are wrapped into dishes such as paella and moules marinière. As well as a kids’ menu and delicious cakes, its family-friendly credentials are boosted by nearby parking and outdoor seating overlooking the beautiful Blue Flag beach.www.porthgwiddencafe.co.uk"

"Porthminster Beach image by John Stratford licensed under CC2.0. What’s to love: So many of St Ives’ beaches could be described as picturesque, but Porthminster should probably take the crown, thanks to its white sands, crystal blue waters, palm trees and view of Godrevy Lighthouse. The mild climate, calm waters, selection of great facilities, and proximity to St Ives town centre make it an extremely popular beach, particularly with families."

"Porthminster Beach is a large sheltered sandy beach, making it especially good for families, and located next to the St Ives train station; there is a car park, too, although in the busy season this will fill pretty quickly. It’s a Blue Flag beach with good facilities and lifeguard cover from May 19th to the end of September. There is a seasonal dog ban."

"Located directly next to the train station Porthminster is another long sandy beach. However, it is quite different to Porthmeor being around the corner and far more sheltered. With a backdrop of lawns and a steep wooded slope to which elegenat Victorian villas cling Porthminster has a civilised air to it."

"Perranporth's huge, flat, sandy beach is a favourite for everyone: dog-walkers, bucket-and-spade families, kite-buggiers and surfers alike. Its main draw is its sheer size – more than a mile long, backed by dunes and rocky cliffs – meaning there's usually space for everyone even on the busiest days. It's home to the Watering Hole, the hub of local nightlife."

"St Ives is a town in Cornwall, England, known for its surf beaches, like Porthmeor, and its art scene. The seafront Tate St Ives gallery has rotating modern art exhibitions, focusing on British artists. Nearby, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, in the modernist artist’s former studio, displays her bronzes and other works."

"So many different flavours my current favourites are Lemon & Seaweed / Toffee Vodka & White Chocolate. 06/01/2021: Always visit when in Charlestown. Best place for take away hot chocolates, pasty’s, ice creams and more."

"Grandly located at the head of the Fal estuary, 4 miles south of Truro, Trelissick is one of Cornwall's most beautiful aristocratic estates, with a formal garden filled with magnolias and hydrangeas, surrounded by a huge expanse of green fields and parkland criss-crossed by trails. The grand, 19th-century neo-Palladian house has been reopened to the public, and hosts exhibitions exploring the estate's history. If you just want to explore the estate grounds, parking costs £4."

"Overlooking Fistral Beach, one of the most famous beaches in the UK, the Carnmarth Hotel has something to offer any time of year. From learning to surf (or perhaps watching for a distance!), to taking a pleasant stroll along one of our beaches or coastal paths or perhaps even sampling some of the fashionable shops or taking soaking up the vibrant nightlife, there really is something to suit every taste!. Whatever you’re looking for, just relax, unwind and enjoy!"

"Description: Overlooking Fistral Beach in Newquay, the Carnmarth Hotel boasts sea views and an on-site surf school. The hotel is within a 10-minute walk from Newquay town centre and adjacent to the golf club. Guests love: The friendly staff, great views, beach-side location and boutique style."

"One reviewer said: "This is a very nice, cosy, traditional pub. It has a very pleasant atmosphere. There is a good range of beers. "They do pub grub although we only went there for drinks. I can’t say that the staff were particularly friendly, but no complaints. "We went there because there was live music but we obviously picked the wrong night, as the two performers were abysmal, so we finished our drinks and moved on. My guess that is that on a good night there could be quite a buzz about the place."

"Try some vegan dishes in St Ives’ only local Mexican restaurant, they have a traditional, laid back atmosphere, have welcoming staff and family friendly. With a range of vegetarian options, The Mex is known for being very vegan-friendly and serve a delicious vegan combo dip with tortilla chips."

"A meal at this nautical-themed eatery peering out to sea feels much like dining aboard a boat. And it’s not just a quirky joint to test your sea legs after a few rums, while pint-sized pirates raid treasure chests of toys.
