Coasteering is one of the most exciting ways to experience Cornwall’s stunning coastline. From scrambling over rocks and exploring hidden caves to leaping into the sea from rugged cliffs, it’s a true adventure that brings you up close with the wild beauty of the Atlantic.

While you can find great spots all around Cornwall, it’s best to go with experienced guides who know the tides, currents, and safest routes. Local providers offer all the gear and know-how to keep things safe and fun.

It’s also a brilliant group activity—whether you’re planning a family day out, a birthday celebration, or even a stag or hen do, coasteering is guaranteed to get everyone laughing, cheering, and definitely a little soaked!

No experience? No problem.

There are plenty of expert providers ready to lead the way. In the Newquay area and across the north coast
, you’ll find a number of specialist coasteering companies offering guided adventures suited to all levels—from first-timers to seasoned thrill-seekers.

If you’re heading west, Kernow Coasteering is a well-known name operating around Penzance, St Ives, and the Land’s End peninsula. Their local knowledge and experience mean you can explore some of Cornwall’s most dramatic and untouched stretches of coastline with confidence.

We have a page full of links to other specialised coasteer/adventure companies from around the Cornish coast.

Going with a specialist isn’t just about safety—it’s the key to discovering hidden sea caves, natural plunge pools, and cliff jumps you’d never find on your own. With the right guide, coasteering becomes more than just an adrenaline rush—it’s a chance to connect with Cornwall’s wild side in a totally unique way.

All you need is a sense of adventure and a love for the outdoors. It’s recommended that you are able to comfortably swim 50m unaided and have a reasonable level of fitness, but buoyancy aids are often provided. If you have any concerns or questions, just speak directly to your chosen provider when you book your adventure.

Windsurfing, Jet Skiing & more

Of course, there are plenty of other ways to enjoy the water and the beach too. Cornwall has previously hosted events like Polo on the Beach, and still puts on fantastic gatherings like the Tall Ships, various regattas, and even the National Bellyboarding Championships at Chapel Porth in St Agnes!

Most beaches have a specialist surf company or activity provider offering a variety of fun things to do. In popular spots like Watergate Bay, Padstow, and Newquay, you’ll often find sea safari tours, sailing clubs, and other water-based activity providers.
