Porthtowan is one of Cornwall’s most popular surf beaches, tucked into a dramatic valley on the north coast between St Agnes and Portreath. Its west-facing beach gets plenty of Atlantic swell, making it a reliable option when the conditions are right.

Sennen Cove is one of Cornwall’s most reliable and visually stunning surf beaches, sitting right at the far western tip of the county near Land’s End.

Croyde is one of North Devon’s most famous and powerful beach breaks, sitting in a beautiful horseshoe-shaped bay that consistently picks up Atlantic swell. On its day, it delivers fast, hollow and punchy waves that have earned it a reputation as one of the UK’s most well-known heavy beach breaks.
