Xtreme Coasteering
If it is rugged and a sense of adventure you are after then North Devon is the place for you. This is where Exmoor meets the sea and you certainly know about it, with the stunning scenery comes big sea cliffs which gives us great ledges to jump from and cliffs to climb.
We use number of locations throughout North Devon including Hele Bay, Croyde Bay, Woolacombe and the River Torridge depending on the conditions and activity.
Surfing Croyde Bay
It is an adventure sport which involves coastal exploration. When you coasteer, you navigate and traverse an area of coastline at sea level. You do this by rock climbing, sea level traversing, scrambling, swimming, sea cliff jumping and even belly flopping along the coast.
You’ll explore the impact zone, where water, waves, rocks, gullies, caves etc., come together to provide a very high energy environment. You will get an entirely new dimension of the coastline you explore. You get very close to the natural habitat of sea life and fauna.
