About Adventure Bay Surf School
Adventure Bay Surf School is Whitsand Bay's premier surf and coasteering provider, operating from Tregonhawke Beach in South East Cornwall's so-called Forgotten Corner — a stretch of coast far from the crowds of Newquay and Polzeath. The school offers a more intimate, personal approach to water sports instruction on one of Cornwall's most dramatic and unspoilt beaches, backed by towering cliffs and facing the open English Channel.
Their programme includes surf lessons for beginners and improvers, bodyboarding, coasteering along the Whitsand Bay cliffs, and paddleboarding. All sessions include full equipment hire and qualified instruction, with small group sizes ensuring plenty of individual attention. The coasteering sessions take advantage of the rugged cliff formations and caves that characterise this section of coast, with jumps and scrambles adapted to the group's confidence level.
Adventure Bay's location is its biggest asset — Whitsand Bay is a series of sheltered coves connected by cliff paths, offering a raw, natural beauty that feels worlds away from Cornwall's busier surf beaches. The school's proximity to Plymouth and the Rame Peninsula also makes it a convenient option for visitors staying in South East Cornwall or across the Devon border who want authentic Cornish surf without the long drive west.
