Surfing in the UK may not be as warm as the Hawaiian Islands but the price is far cheaper

and the waves are good.

Croyde Bay, Devon:

Croyde is a sleepy village on the North Devon Coastline, vibrant only to surfing and outdoor

types it’s a perfect escape for a activity holidays. The main hub in Croyde is The Thatch, a

village pub, which caters for daytime and evening dining and drinking. The restaurant is old

fashioned that makes it dark in places, so make sure they sit you in the pub area and not

the main restaurant, unless you like diner style locations.

Croyde Beach gives great surf and there is a rescue service for peace of mind. Local surf shops, such as Surfing Croyde Bay give surf lessons every day throughout the summer period, with often ten or more in the group. If you get tired of the great surfing, Croydeoffers many walks and pathways to explore, including Baggy Point. This pathway winds around the cliff tops taking in some amazing views of croyde bay, and neighboring farmlands. A great walk in the spring months of April and May, when the seabirds come to nest on the cliffs and the spring flowers are in bloom. Along the way you will find old whalebones and ponds full of wildlife, so great for young explorers.

Hell’s Mouth, Wales:

One of the best named beaches in the UK, Hell’s Mouth Beach or Porth Neigwl gives a

good swell in most directions. Best time to surf is at mid tide with a gentle offshore wind,

where the waves will be cleaner and easier to ride. The beach is vast, so on windy days can

be difficult to hide from the sand blowing around the cliffs.

Accommodation can be found cheaply at the Bunkhouse, on the Llyn Peninsula, with rooms

costing just £18 per night, including breakfast. Telephone: 01758 713527 for reservations.
