Croyde
is a good beach for experienced surfers, this is because tends
to be crowded with little kids and has powerful undertow so
beginners beware, other than that on good day croyde is excellant
surf!
Ollie, Leicester
Good shape, easy paddle. If all you brits have to worry about
is the crowds then focus on surfing, you will get a wave. Less
excuses as it is not all that crowded. My favourite wave in
the UK.
Dan, Sunshine Coast, Australia
Saunton, Croyde and Putts all within paddling distance of each
other. What more could you want? Want to chill? Go to Putts.
Want to rip? Go to Croyde. Want to Longboard? Go to Saunton.
Want to moan? Go home.
Alex B, Bristol
Jesus, what a bunch of moaners. As someone new to surfing over
the last couple of years I love Croyde, so it's busy in the
summer, get up early or go late. If it's good I drive 550 miles
round trip to enjoy it. The camping in town's great, the pubs
are fantastic and my kids love the dunes.
Ian, Hitchin
Croyde is one of the best spots in the UK - and by Croyde I
mean Croyde/Saunton/Puttsborough. Three great beaches all within
striking distance. On top of all of that Croyde itself is about
a million times nicer than Newquay, which let's face it is just
naff as hell with its lines of crappy B&B's and amusement arcades.
Oh yeah - and I'm a London surfer - so what...You're welcome
to visit London next time the swell is good here - I won't get
local about it... Peace x
Andt, London
