UK Activity Breaks: Why We Love Big Blue Surf School

The Ideal Beach for learning: Summerleaze Beach is one of the most uniquely diverse spots in Cornwall. A highly sheltered bay area when the Atlantic swells get too massive and unruly, along a wide, gently sandy beach from mid-to-low tide. This means their instructors can perfectly adapt your lesson to the safest, most appropriate conditions regardless of your skill level.

Top Tip: After a high-energy surf lesson or an exhilarating coasteering session, head over to the Sea Pool for a tranquil, salt-water swim away from the breaking waves.
