SURFING

Always dreamed of surfing the waves?

Devon is a world-class surfing destination for everyone from beginner to the gnarled veteran. There are huge barrels and fun-sized swells, hollow tubes and regular sets which pound the sand in perfect rhythm.

Bantham is probably the best beach in South Devon and has a swell range of 2-12 feet. As such, it attracts a wide range of levels and abilities, with families flocking here during the summer holidays. There can be a strong rip due to the River Avon, but the swell is good here on all tides. Bantham is a great place to sit and while away the day too, with stunning views of the coast and Burgh Island, which you can walk to when the tide is out.
