Like father, like son - Ben Skinner's son showing off his board skills
There are lots of awesome places to surf around the resort, from Portreath where we’re based to Gwithian and Hayle. St Ives, Newquay, Perranporth, Praa Sands, Polzeath and Constantine are all within a drive away from the resort and are world-renowned for their waves.

Ben 'Skin Dog' Skinner regularly stays with us with his family
If you know your aerials from your barrels and your rash guard from your neoprene, you’ll know what you’re doing when it comes to catching a gnarly wave or two. Stay with us and enjoy some serious surfing time at Fistral Beach just a 25-minute drive away. Porthmeor Beach in nearby St Ives is another surfing hot spot and Sennen Beach in Penzance is also popular.
A family of youngsters learning how to surf in Portreath
For those of you who are keen to try surfing or who haven’t done it for a while, why not book in a few surf lessons with our local surf school? At Portreath Surf School, they will rent surfboards, as well as wet suits and you can even try a SUP or sea kayak if you want to do more than just surfing in Cornwall.

Our dog-friendly Tregea Signature lodge pictured right offers the ideal way to relax in tranquil surroundings
We have lots of dog-friendly versions of these lodges, all of which come with their own parking space. With traditional wooden exteriors and cosy interiors, these lodges are more than large enough to house your own surf boards should you choose to bring them with you. You can hang your wet suits up on the decking to dry in the sun and breeze, plus you can enjoy meals either outside on your sun deck or inside on the family-sized kitchen table.
