Hi all

I normally camp in and around Newquay so that I can go surfing while there, does anyone recommend any good surf spots and campsites around the UK?

Please any suggestions are welcome, i'd liek to be able to explore other places in the UK but still catch some waves :-)

Check out the Pembrokeshire coast, some great sites there and (I'm told) reasonable surfing.

My advice is worth no more than the price paid for it

Yes, have a look at Pembrokeshire, for example (though I've not been there for many years) Newgale.

This topic was covered recently, so have a look through the forums for "Surfing but not Cornwall".

Have a look at Places to surf and choose an area from the map.

Here's a pic taken at my 'local' beach - Banff

I'm tired of reality, so I'm off to look for a good fantasy.

Beach Wizard is another good surfing site. Then just look for a camp site using camp site search on here

Pembrokeshire is good.

Bob mentions Newgale. It's a fairly sheltered west-facing beach in the northeast corner of St Brides Bay. The beach break is not too challenging so it's popular with novices.

For a bit more excitement try Freshwater West, a southwest facing exposed beach backed by high sand dunes. It has a good beach break at low water as well as point and reef breaks. But there are undertows and rips so it's not ideal for novices and you need to be a strong swimmer/paddler. There is a daily surf report on the Magic Seaweed website.

Whitesands beach (west of St Davids) is said to be good too but I've never surfed there. Try Googling it.

You can use the UKCS campsite search to find places to pitch in west Wales - there's no shortage of campsites.
