I was really impressed with the Escape surf school. Not only are they accomodating, but the prices…read moreare really good - £25 for a 2.5 hour lesson including wetsuit and board hire is a pretty good deal, outside shower thrown in for free. As a complete beginner the determination to get back on the board was egged on by the three teachers as well as the distinct presence of the photographer on the beach. You can also get hostel and hotel accomodation and coasteering packages - just try it, you'll love it!

I can't say enough good things about this surf school. I have used them twice, once when eleven of…read moreus turned up wanting a sufr lesson that day when they fell over themselves to accomodate us, and once on a weekend break. The staff are great, very helpful in a chilled out sort of way. When we went along for the weekend they sent us a text message each day or the evening before letting us know what time the lesson would start the next day (as it varied depending what the waves were like). They have a great method of teaching which allows almost everyone to stand up on the board on their first lesson. They are also great at teaching more experienced surfers and I learnt loads from them. Finally, the best thing when you come out of the water is the nice warm hot tub waiting for you afterwards (I won't mention the cold shower between the water and the hot tub!!

The five of us did the North Coast coasteering challenge with Brendon and Wazza, and it was…read moreamazing! They led us on a trail that was challenging and fun, and initiated a bunch of cliff-jumping noobs. Apparently during high tide participants get to do a lot of jumps, while during low tide you get to explore caves (which are filled up with water during high tide). We'd been surfing at the various beaches in Newquay, but during this trip we got to see a different side of newquay that was a bit wilder than the sandy beach breaks. Would recommend!

All equipment for what ever activity is provided & is in good condition. Check out the Facebook page for pictures & video.

Just a…read moreshort stroll down a hill from the picturesque village of Crantock, you'll find a car park (handy if you don't fancy the walk) and the Crantock Beach Cafe. The owners, Simon & Amanda are a friendly pair - especially if you're up for some footie banter! Simon's fish and chips are fab - beautiful fresh fish in the lightest batter, with scrumptious real chips, and not a spot of grease in sight. You can even take along a bottle of your favourite tipple if you fancy making an evening of it! There are plenty of snacks on offer during the day - just the thing to keep you going during a day on the beach - You can also buy all sorts of beach parafernalia to keep you & the kids kitted out and amused. Just around the headland from Newquay's Fistral bay, Crantock is a real hidden gem, and is now our favourite part of Cornwall
