Come and enjoy a day at the seaside with the coast team at Cornwall’s Watergate Bay, one of the most desirable spots in the country 

In association with Joules

WHEN?
Saturday 21st April 2018. 10.15am to 4.30pm.

WHAT’S IN STORE?
Our day at the beach will begin with coffee and a catch-up in the Watergate Bay Hotel, followed by a survey led by the Marine Conservation Society – a charity that cares for our shores, seas and wildlife. Your finds will then be recorded, weighed and analysed, forming a valuable contribution to the research of the MCS. Having worked up an appetite, we’ll lunch at chic restaurant Zacry’s at the Watergate Bay Hotel, where Cornish attitude is combined with a classic brasserie vibe. Tums full, it’ll be time to don our wellies and explore Watergate Bay’s rockpools. With expert guidance from the MCS, we’ll find all kinds of sea creatures. Next up it’ll be back to the hotel for tea, coffee, cake and a prize giving, where spot prizes will be awarded and goodie bags handed out to all. See you there!

HOW DO I BOOK?
The day costs £20 per person (under-5s free and £12 for children aged 6-15). This includes drinks on arrival, lunch, tea/coffee and cake in the afternoon and a goodie bag. Advance bookings only, call coast on 01959 543707.

MAKE A WEEKEND OF IT
If you’d like to spend more than one day on this enchanting part of the North Cornish coast, there are plenty of things to do. Try your hand at all kinds of watersports with the Extreme Academy or kick back at Watergate Bay’s Swim Club, which offers treatment rooms and a sea-view hot tub. For food, explore the enticing menus at family-friendly The Beach Hut and Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen as well as Zacry’s.

NEW THIS YEAR!
This year Joules are spreading the Beach Clean around the country! If you can’t make it to Watergate Bay, then join Joules on the same day at one of their beach cleans near their Beside-the-Seaside stores in either St Ives, Abersoch, Aldeburgh, Mumbles or Lyme Regis. Joules says, ‘One beach at a time we want to help clean up our coastline, for everyone to enjoy it for years to come ’.
