Fistral Beach
Fistral is the beach that put British surfing on the map. Facing directly into the Atlantic, it picks up every swell going — from gentle summer rollers perfect for beginners to the heavy winter waves that draw experienced surfers from across Europe.
The Boardmasters festival takes over every August, but Fistral’s appeal is year-round. The beachside restaurants and bars have a quality that matches the setting, and the RNLI lifeguards keep watch from Easter through October.
