Additional Surfing Infos |
| | Probably the most popular spot in the UK outside of Newquay. The nearest good spot for the hordes
of inland surfers. Crowded. Parking at both ends and in the middle. Low tide gives the hollow rides, and mid to high tide a mellower wave.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
A long time surfing venue, recent years have seen it turn into a year-round surfing centre. Schools,
campsites, pubs, everything is influenced by surfing. Despite that, it still is a great spot, and is a beautiful bit of country as well. One of the few private beaches in the country - but free access to all. Kept scrupulously clean due to private ownership. European Blue Flag winner for water quality in 2002. Campsite accommodation two minutes' walk from the sands |
| |
General |
Every UK surfer knows it. Despite the crowds the lure of good surf and a few beers in the Thatch keeps 'em coming back for more. |
