Welcome to Scarcewater

Scarcewater is a small village located in the county of Cornwall, England. It is situated on the coast and is known for its beautiful beaches and stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. The village is home to a small population of around 500 people and is a popular destination for tourists looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

One of the main attractions in Scarcewater is its beach, which is a popular spot for swimming, surfing, and sunbathing. The beach is surrounded by cliffs and is accessible via a steep path that leads down to the shore. The village also has a small harbor where visitors can take boat trips to explore the coastline and nearby islands.

In addition to its natural beauty, Scarcewater is also home to a number of historic buildings and landmarks. The village church, St. Mary's, dates back to the 12th century and is a popular destination for visitors interested in history and architecture. Other notable landmarks include the Scarcewater lighthouse, which was built in the 19th century to guide ships safely into the harbor, and the ruins of an old castle that once stood on a nearby hilltop.

Local Dog Walks

Watergate Bay
Watergate Bay Is A Two-Mile Stretch Of Golden Sand On The North Cornish Coast, Two Miles From Newquay. A Favourite With Surfers And People Flying Kites (Which Drove My Dog Crazy - Big Multi-Coloured Birds In The Sky!) It Is Dog-Friendly All Year Round. Jame Oliver Has A Restaurant Overlooking The Beach (Probably Not Dog-Friendly, I Don't Know). But The Beach Hut, Which Is Adjacent To The Sand, Is Very Dog-Friendly And Serves Locally Caught Mussels And Very Fine Hamburgers. I Visited In April But I Imagine This Place Gets Mobbed In August.
