People commonly choose this country for outdoor activities, especially surfing, since it's one of the most popular watersports, and why not have a surfing experience in what is considered the place with the most beautiful beaches in the world?
Let's be honest. All of us wished to try a surfing adventure at least once in a lifetime. Wales welcomes everybody as it has suitable beaches for all kinds of levels. Is also the home of multiple companies and surfing schools, providing bespoke training and unique surfing sessions. The Welsh Surfing Champ in the Women's UK Pro Surf Tour, Gwen Spurlock, consider Wales her favourite spot to ride waves due to its sunny and fresh days.
From friendly and relaxing beaches for beginners to intense and fast waves, Wales is a place filled with impressive coast that exceeds everyone's expectations. If you want to take a break from your routine, then you must visit this magical place.
• Anglesey Isle. It's one of the most popular places to have a surfing adventure in the UK. You can find it on the north side of Wales. Winter is the best season to visit, making it a great spot advanced surfers. According to professionals, some of the best spots for a thrilling surfing session are:
- Aberffraw Bay. It's a sandy beach with strong currents, so you must definitely need previous experience, if you want to ride some waves in this area. It has a parking spot nearby, allowing you to get there in no time. It's also really close to the village of Aberffraw, making it a great option if you want to combine surfing with touristic activities such as shopping, exploring cafes, etc.
- Cable Bay. It's a very touristic place. It usually has many visitors during the years, especially during summer. It's the perfect spot for families since if has rockpools where your little ones can swim. It also has archaeological areas such as the Barclodiad y Gawres burial chamber, dating back to the Stone Age.
• Hell's Mouth. This is the best-known spot for surfing in North Wales. It's a fantastic 4-mile bay with challenging waves and sandy beaches. It attracts multiple surfers from all over the world, making it one of the best and most popular venues for surfing. Don't be afraid of its name. It also has calm waves where you can catch up on some skills. It's considered one of the best beaches for complete beginners.
• Porthcawl. We consider Porthcawl the best venue for beginners in South Wales. It's close to Bristol, Cardiff and London, making it the ideal venue for a date trip to these nearby areas. You also encounter the Rest Bay in this area, one of the most consistent breaks. It has easy access from the conurbations of South Britain. We guarantee you'll find a cheerful and friendly atmosphere in this beautiful place.
• Gower Area. One of the most interesting facts about the Gower Peninsula is that it was the first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Britain. It has multiple beaches for complete and more experienced surfers. It has a great shelter, swell and breaks. Some of the best places to surf in Gower are:
- Threeclif Bay. You can find the ruins of Pennard Castle in this beautiful bay. It's surrounded by cliffs and blue skies, making your surfing adventure a magical one. You can also encounter a decent swell, and it's not usually crowded. It's connected to Oxwich Bay, giving you a 3-miles long crescent of sand.

- Pete's Reef. It's a very popular reef break, picking any swell going. It's considered one of the best places for experienced surfers. It breaks best at low tide. This reef is named after the Surf Legend Pete Jones, a former European Champion.
• Pembrokeshire. If you want to go further in the South, you can encounter Pembrokeshire. It's an extra hour beyond Swansea, but we guarantee it's worth the travel since it has beautiful and quieter beaches. Some of them are:
- Manorbier. It's a small bay with a church and a medieval castle. It always has multiple visitors from everywhere, due to its challenging and exhilarating waves. It shapes the swell into waves of 10ft, making it a surfing venue for people with previous experience.
