We recently caught up with our friends from @newquaywildactivities, who gave us a run down on their latest Rockpool Ramble on Fistral beach.... A brand-new Social Enterprise set up by Liz and Laura in 2022, Newquay Wild Activities run inspiring and educational Wildlife Walks and Rockpool Rambles. You’ll uncover tiny worlds that live beneath the water, from the iridescent Blue Ray Limpet, the vibrant Stalk Jellyfish and the adorable Cushion Star. You’ll also learn how to collect valuable scientific data that can help to inform conservation research and national policy. See what wonders the group found via the link in bio….

“The rain can actually help the surf as it ‘grooms’ the waves. It can patten them down into a smooth state, making it a nice clean ride. You’re wet already, so a little bit of rain doesn’t hurt.” Charlie @croydesurfacademy on why the sea’s good for holiday fun whatever our whimsical weather’s doing.
