EDUCATION

Our coastal adventures are developed to be the perfect combination of adrenaline fuelled fun and essential sea safety. Tides, rip currents, rocks, the role of lifeguards and basic first aid; once you know about them, it is hard to forget them.

Our team of professionals have years of personal experience underpinning their qualifications and a wealth of knowledge to share. You’ll gain more than just new confidence on our coastal adventures in Newquay.

HISTORY AND HERITAGE

Newquay’s Atlantic coastline has seen its fair share of dramatic events, from tea plundering pirates using its caves under cover of darkness, to superstitious witch-hunt rituals and heroic lifeboat rescues.

When a terrible storm battered the coast of Newquay in December 1917, a local fishing boat got washed over the notoriously dangerous Cribbar reef. A lifeboat was deployed to rescue the shipwrecked sailors but the boat was quickly tipped over by the rough seas. Its crew spent three days trapped in a cave until the storm subsided.

Our Cornwall Castaway adventure is a coasteering challenge inspired by that heroic lifeboat crew, who foraged for food and found ways of lighting fires whilst the water raged around the caves.

ADRENALINE FUELLED FUN

Do you have what it takes to become an RNLI lifeguard? On this full-day activity you’ll get your adrenaline pumping, tackle rescue scenarios and learn some of the core skills used daily by professional lifeguards on the U.K.’s busiest beaches – introducing the Lifeguard Trials. Then take those skills to the cliffs, caverns and caves of our coasteer route for an afternoon of adrenaline-fuelled activity.

Why stop there? Our Surf Survivor course encompasses all aspects of the beach rescue lifestyle and will see you competing against your friends or family in a race against the clock. We’ve devised unique life saving and coastguard activities, combining flag and fitness games to challenge your group physically and mentally on some of Cornwall’s best surf beaches.

You’ll need determination, good communication skills and your best Baywatch impression… we’ll provide the rest.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

If it’s laughs you’re after, the Cornish Challenge is definitely for you. It’s our answer to the Highland Games and combines Californian beach competitions with lifeguarding challenges and scenarios.

HEALTHY COMPETITION

The winner takes all on our Racing Super Stand Up Paddleboard adventure! On the starting whistle, what ensues is a blur of exertion, frantic paddling and smiles. Underhand tactics are guaranteed in the quest to take the lead. Only one team can walk away victorious after landing back on the beach and take bragging rights over their fallen friends.

LOCATIONS

Our HQ is conveniently based near Fistral, Great Western and Towan beach, the gateway to the Gazzle Peninsula and just a one-minute walk from Newquay’s town centre. With car parks close by, eateries up the road and the beach just below us, you’ll be in prime position for a day out to remember your coastal adventures in Newquay.

Towan Beach is one of the most sheltered stretches along Cornwall’s northern coastlines. At low tide, the pristine sand stretches all the way from Newquay’s harbour to the cliffs of Lusty Glaze beach. Seals and dolphins regularly frequent these waters and once out of Towan’s harbour, we’ll lead you along sections of coastline otherwise inaccessible by land.

The ‘Gazzle’ is a sweep of cliff-line steeped in history. Smugglers caves, natural rapids, craggy inlets and hidden coves; our coastline holds a host of secrets just waiting to be discovered.

Every adventure differs depending on the weather and swell conditions of the day.
