A Surf Camp With A Different Feel
Wake Up Near Freshwater West. Spend The Day In The Ocean.
This page is deliberately more surf-focused than our wider Pembrokeshire Adventure Camp. Gupton Farm is a natural base for surfers: the National Trust describes it as being by the wild, big-surf beach at Freshwater West, with an easy walk through the fields to sea views and the beach.
Build the stay around surf coaching, then add coasteering, beach time, coastal walks or another activity if your group wants more variety.
