Surfing
Surfing has a unique and powerful appeal. Surfers travel the world looking for the best waves, and the ultimate experience. ‘Where to surf next?’ is usually the question and is hopefully something this worldwide surfing travel guide will help to answer.
The popularity of surfing goes well beyond those who actually do the sport. It is ingrained in popular culture and its influence is found in everything from fashion to films. This is because the mixture of adrenaline, skill, and high paced maneuvering set against an unpredictable environment is often mesmerising. Surfing can be graceful and serene but also violent and formidable.
For many people, even those that don’t surf, surfing is the ultimate action sport. The time and effort put into catching a wave is huge and the reward is pretty short. While you have to be fairly dedicated to become a surfer at the beginner level it is very accessible.
Surfing travel includes everything from beginner camps to pro training. Almost everywhere there are suitable waves you will find surf schools and daily experiences. But where to surf next? Get inspiration for your next trip below!

Want to surf great waves in remote UK locations? Get a caravan!
Some of the best surf available is located in remote places: in hidden coves, on the shores of mountain ranges, amid the ruins of ancient castles and on the fringes of dense forests. If you travel to one of these destinations in a caravan then you'll be truly self-sufficient; you won't be held back by lack of catering or accommodation options. You can throw your Firewire Dominator shortboard in the back and go pretty much anywhere for the big surf. It's a fun and adventurous way to practise your favourite sport.
So which are the best surf spots in the UK for caravan owners?
