SURFING AT CROYDE
Croyde has been a hot spot for surfers for many years. The beach sits within a natural bay which produces good waves for surfing. The influence of the Gulf Stream creates a Maritime Climate which creates cooler summers, milder winters and a warmer sea, all ideal for surfing. Complete beginners surf alongside UK national champions all year round, with Christmas day being no exception!
