How about Golden Cap at Seatown in Dorset. The below is taken from the top of Golden Cap. The campsite can be see mid-left and the pub is the white building almost on the beach. The village with another pub is about 15 minutes walk away.

we went to watergate bay near newquay for about 15 years . this was our boys and our favourite location. lovely site not too close to newquay but easy to get in by car or bus. or even walk along the beach .

we used to use the c&cc site at tregurrian which is next door to watergate bay holiday park  ( newquay ). watergate park has a small poo,l it is large but very clean and well laid out, with a nice little shop that we use to use for convenience.

a brilliant beach for surfing or boarding , with a choice of many other beaches near by.

Another view of Golden Cap at Seatown...now who could ask for more than a campsite next to a pub next to a beach and they do excellent fish and chips too

I agree. The gravel beach shelves very quickly so you don't get long rollers suitable for surfing. When I was at Golden Cap canoes and windsurfing seemed to be the thing...and you get plenty of wind.
