Saunton Sands, Braunton, EX33 1LQ
Saunton Sands is one of the most beautiful beaches in England, and Coastline Sports is the operator that knows it best. Based at this magnificent stretch of golden sand, which stretches for almost three miles along the north Devon coast, Coastline Sports offers surf lessons, bodyboarding, paddleboarding and a range of other outdoor activities designed to make the most of this spectacular natural playground.
The surf coaching here is delivered by qualified, experienced instructors who take a genuinely warm and encouraging approach with everyone they work with. Whether you are a complete beginner who has never paddled out before or an intermediate surfer looking to make the next step, the team will structure your session to give you the best possible chance of achieving something memorable in the water. Saunton’s long, rolling waves are well suited to learning and provide an enjoyable and relatively forgiving environment for surfers of all levels.
Beyond surfing, Coastline Sports runs excellent paddleboarding sessions that open up a completely different side of the North Devon coastline. Standing up on a board and gliding across the flat water with the dunes of Braunton Burrows behind you and the Atlantic opening out ahead is one of those simple pleasures that stays with you long after you have come back to shore. The team also offers bodyboarding tuition, which is a brilliantly accessible way to experience the thrill of riding waves.
Saunton Sands benefits from a long tidal range, which means there is usually a good variety of conditions across the beach at any given state of the tide. The instructors understand the beach intimately and will always put you in the best position to have an outstanding session.
Coastline Sports provides a genuinely joyful way to experience one of England’s most spectacular beaches from the very best angle.
