the Living Space – our place for easy seaside eating, meeting and lounging –
and The Beach Hut, serving burgers, steak and seafood right on the beach.

the Watergate Bay experience. We want to inspire our guests with the best seasonal
menus, local produce and contemporary dishes, and give them eating and drinking
