What exactly is coasteering? +
Coasteering is a unique coastal adventure activity which developed in Pembrokeshire in the 1980s. You’ll now see it taking place all over the UK, Ireland, Europe and far flung corners of the globe.
It consists of a concoction of elements including sea swimming, rock climbing, scrambling, bouldering, ledge leaping and interacting with the unique rock features and swell at various points along a route You may find yourself swimming through sea caves, riding the swell through rushing gullies, scrambling over barnacled rocks and spotting rockpool inhabitants, and leaping into the sea from variable heights.
All this is done in along an A to B route (and back again), traversing the rocky intertidal zone under the cliffs, where the land meets the sea.
Each trip is entirely unique and even if you go to the same place twice, it may look and feel entirely different due to the changing tides and sea conditions.
