“In the field looking down to the beach sit a cluster of repurposed shipping containers, a timber-clad wagon and a yurt. Intrigued, we park up and wander in.” ⁠

We created our own beach lifestyle at Watergate Bay. On route to the beach, a board and suit from West Country Surf School, a coffee (with quite the view) from The Hangout then hours on the sand and enjoying the surf, before an Aprés Sea bite to eat from The Beach Hut.

“An invisible skylark issues a loud trill, as we sit at the base of a dune. For the entire time we’re there, it sings excitedly, like a close friend we haven’t seen for years. What to do? Read, sunbathe, go for a swim, or just watch the landscape as it shifts slightly under the sky? Time here moves slower somehow.”⁠
