About Surf 'n' turf

A week of surfing and turfing at Godrevy beach and headland, St Ives bay.

Come and join us for a week of surfing and coastal maintenance on the wave-soaked North Cornish coast. You will have an equal amount of time spent surfing and working. The work will include preparation and laying of turf and repair of access points at the popular and picturesque Godrevy beach. All surf activities and equipment are provided by experienced and qualified instructors from Shore Surf School.

About the accommodation

Located at Chyvarloe on the edge of the Penrose Estate, close to coastal paths and beaches. There are two main bunk rooms in the building and the downstairs bunk room is located next to the main living room. The upstairs bunk room is reached through the external steps at the rear of the building. There is also a smaller room with twin beds next to the kit store outside the main bunkhouse. There is a kit room big enough for bike, surfboard and kayak storage. There is also a barbecue in the garden. 

Notes for guests

What to bring: A standard kit list can be found on our Essential Information page. Please also bring a towel for the beach.
