What is coasteering?
If exploring caves, gullies, scrambling around rocks and jumping into crystal clear waters sounds like your cup of adventure, then coasteering could be the perfect way to pack in the action on your North Cornwall trip. Who knows, you may discover a lifelong passion!
Guaranteed to get your heart racing, it’s best to think of coasteering as a combination of swimming, traversing and exploring or, as some like to say, everything you wanted to do at the seaside when you were a child but weren’t allowed!
Whilst it is possible to go coasteering without supervision, having a qualified guide and access to professional equipment is the best way to try it for the first time and ensure your safety.
Coasteering in Padstow
Most of the action happens along the wildly beautiful coastline of Harlyn Bay, one of the UK’s most idyllic locations for coasteering. Hidden beaches, cliffs and sea caves are waiting to be found and there’s stunning wildlife and geology to be savoured.
Against the picturesque backdrop of the bay, adventurers can enjoy great jumps of up to 10 metres into crystal clear deep water, experience exhilarating whitewater features, and the rise and fall of the swell.
Rock jumping, arches, sea caves and amazing sea pools make for some very interesting exploring that just could not be accessed any other way. There’s no better way to explore the coastline than with a coasteering experience in North Cornwall!

“We had a great time! Four very enthusiastic instructors who clearly love their job! Made my ten year old daughter feel at ease and confident to try every jump off the rocks! Would definitely recommend this activity. A very different experience on the north coast compared to the south coast. Loved it!!
“Our 2 hour Coasteering adventure was absolutely fabulous – seeing the coast and jumping into the sea at usually inaccessible points. Our leaders were very professional but managed to keep even the more challenging sections light-hearted, while keeping safety at the fore. There was a wide range of ages in our group, but everyone felt encouraged to go for it. Booking was easy, and there were several session times to chose from.”
