- Terrain:
The terrain at Watergate Bay in Cornwall is primarily sandy beach, which is generally firm and easy to walk on near the water's edge at low tide but can be soft and more tiring higher up. Access to the beach from car parks often involves slopes or steps. The South West Coast Path sections along the clifftops are challenging, with steep, rocky, and uneven paths and numerous ascents and descents. This Cornish walk offers both easy beach strolling and strenuous clifftop hiking.
