The UK's Best Surf Camps in Cornwall

Not at all! Our weekend surf camps in Cornwall are open to all abilities, including complete beginners. Our coaches will provide step-by-step guidance, from learning the basics of paddling and popping up to catching unbroken waves for those who are ready. If you already have some experience, we’ll tailor coaching to your level, helping you progress at your own pace.

Our Cornwall surf camp is located near Newquay, with easy transport options. Initially you arrive at our HQ in Newuqay which is a short walk from the train station or bus station.

If driving, we provide free parking at our private woodland campsite.

If using public transport, Newquay has train and bus connections, and we can help arrange transport from the town to the campsite if needed.

Once you book your UK surf camp, we’ll send you a full welcome pack with directions and travel tips.

Breakfast is included in our **surf camps in Cornwall, with a simple spread of pastries, fruit, and cereal** to fuel you up for a day of surfing. *Please note that we don’t cater for specific dietary requirements.

For other meals, our surf camp has a fantastic outdoor cooking setup, including a wood-fired pizza oven and BBQ. Cooking is a social affair, and we prepare meals together as a group with your host, making it a great way to get to know your fellow surf campers.

On Friday evening**, when you arrive at our **Newquay HQ**, you’ll have time to pick up any supplies at the Sainsbury’s located just behind us**, so there’s no need to bring anything in advance.

On Saturday night, it’s BBQ night! After a full day of surfing and adventure, we’ll head back into town, giving you another chance to grab anything you need before returning to camp for an evening of good food and great company around the fire.

For lunch, you’ll have the chance to **explore Newquay’s many pop-up food spots and delis, all just 30 seconds from our HQ, making it easy to grab something tasty before heading to the beach.

We offer private surf camps in Cornwall for groups looking for a more personalised experience. Whether it’s for a stag or hen party, a work retreat, or just a group of friends, we can tailor the camp to your needs. Private bookings include:

Each day at our Cornwall surf camp is a balance of surfing, adventure, and time to chill:

Mornings: Grab a light breakfast (pastries, fruit, and cereal) before heading to the beach for your surf lesson.

Lunchtime: Visit one of Newquay’s pop-up delis or cafés, just a short walk from our HQ.

Afternoons: Free time to relax, explore Newquay, or book an optional coasteering session.

Evenings: Back at camp, we cook together around the BBQ or pizza oven, before unwinding by the fire.

We keep things laid-back and flexible, making it an ideal experience for those looking for an adult surf camp in the UK with a social, outdoor vibe.

Absolutely! Our UK surf camps are perfect for solo travellers. Most people who join us come on their own, so it’s a great way to meet like-minded people in a relaxed setting. The group cooking, evening campfires, and shared surfing experiences mean you'll feel part of the community from the moment you arrive.

Nope! We provide everything you need, including:

A wetsuit that fits the conditions.

A surfboard matched to your ability (foamies for beginners, hardboards for improvers).

Leashes and rash vests for comfort and safety.

If you have your own board and wetsuit, feel free to bring them – our coaches can help you fine-tune your skills with your own gear.
