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. It faces the Atlantic Ocean, adjacent to Newquay Bay. 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.[2]
