Waves For All Forever
The North Devon Coast became the 1st UK World Surfing reserve on 12th May 2023 - the 12th in the World!
This global designation recognises the area's outstanding surf breaks, unique surf ecosystem, natural beauty and deep-rooted surf culture. It also brings together local stakeholders to protect it.
This is the 12th World Surfing Reserve, the first of its kind in the UK, and only the second in Europe.
World Surfing Reserves is a programme of Save the Waves Coalition. It identifies, designates, and preserves outstanding waves, surf zones and their environments, representing a global network of surf ecosystems that are managed, implemented and protected by local communities.
