Gwithian is highly regarded as one of the best places to surf in Cornwall, nestled in the heart of the Towans nature reserve Gwithian remains timeless and unspoiled. Recently listed by the Sunday Times in the ‘Top 10 Surf Locations in England’. Gwithian is part of St Ives Bay’s famed ‘three miles of golden sand’, and is the longest and most spacious beach in Cornwall.
You can find us based at the Sunset Surf Café, where we have excellent facilities for all our surfers, including heated changing rooms, toilets and showers. All of our equipment is kept to the highest standards and is no more than 2 years old. All you will need to bring is a towel, swimsuit and lots of energy.
On arrival our friendly team will tailor the lesson to suit your needs, whether it’s your first surf lesson or if you are looking to take your surfing to the next level. Offering family, private and beginner lessons, we are open 7 days a week, all year round. As part of our COVID strategy we are staggering our groups across the day to guarantee low numbers both at the surf school and in the sea at any one time. Therefore giving each of our lovely customers a more personalised and safe experience.
New for 2021 – Check out our new Coasteering Experiences from Praa Sands, and all terrain eBikes from Gwithian. These new exciting activities can be booked online alongside surfing lessons or separately.
We pride ourselves on small beginner and improver surf lessons with unbeatable coach to student ratios. The average surf lesson ratio is 1:4 with the maximum being 1:8. This guarantees each of our customers more 1-to-1 coaching. The 2-hour surf lessons will be staggered throughout the day, therefore minimising the number of people using the facilities and reducing the crowds in the surf.
