Jumps are optional, so you can stay in the water at a height that feels useful rather than being pushed off a ledge. The session is two hours from the base and back, with a wetsuit, helmet and buoyancy aid included. 📋 Key Details Duration: About 2 hours Meeting point: Harlyn Bay Beach, Cornwall, PL28 8PD Minimum age: 12 years Group: Between 2 and 16 people Swim: 50 metres unaided 👀 What to Expect The first part is on the sand: a safety brief, kit fitting and a look at how the swell is working. Then you move along the shoreline, swimming through pools, climbing onto ledges and choosing whether to jump. Guides hold surf lifesaving and first aid awards, and they will not let you take a bigger jump until your technique is clean. Please arrive 30 minutes early so the fitting is not rushed. Trainers that can get wet, or wetsuit boots, are required. Open-toe shoes and wetsuit shoes are not accepted. Glasses stay on the sand after the brief and sit with the first-aid kit. 📍 Location The route starts from the beach base on Harlyn Bay, in front of the large car park. The rocks here give pools, caves and optional jumps without a long walk-in. The coast path runs above the route if someone wants to watch. Toilets and two food outlets sit in the car park. Lifeguards cover the bay from Easter to September. Dogs are allowed on the beach, though they cannot come on the coasteer. ✅ Prerequisites You need to swim 50 metres unaided and be happy in open water. The usual minimum age is 12. Younger children are only considered in calm conditions, and you need to ask first rather than booking this listing for them. Bring trainers or wetsuit boots, swimwear and a towel. Your own full-length wetsuit is fine. From October to May we would rather you wear one of our winter suits unless yours is a proper winter thickness. ⭐ Why Choose Us This team started these routes in 2008 and is a member of the National Coasteering Charter. Guides know the tides on this stretch, which is why jumps stay optional and why a session can still run when it is raining. Chris has run the beach base since 1994. The same licence that covers the surf school covers this session, so you are not joining a one-off operator on the rocks. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included 2-hour guided coasteering session from the beach base and back Wetsuit, helmet and buoyancy aid Safety brief and kit fitting on the sand Guides with lifesaving and first aid awards ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point Trainers or wetsuit boots Towel and swimwear Food and drinks Parking in the beach car park ### Kit list Trainers that can get wet, or wetsuit boots (no open toes) Swimwear A towel and warm dry clothes ## FAQs ### How long is the session? About two hours from the base and back, including kit fitting and the brief. The rest is on the rocks and in the water, at a pace that fits the group in front of the guide. Please arrive 30 minutes early so the fitting is not rushed. Start times move with the tide, so check the slot you booked rather than assuming a fixed hour. ### Do I have to jump? No. Every jump is optional. There is always another way around a ledge, so you can stay in the water at a height that feels useful. Guides will not let you take a bigger jump until your technique is clean. That is how the session stays useful for a mixed group without anyone being pushed. ### What is the minimum age and swim standard? Twelve, and you need to swim 50 metres unaided. Buoyancy aids are worn, but they are not a substitute for being happy in open water. Younger children are only considered in calm conditions, and only if you ask first. This listing is not the place to turn up with an 11-year-old hoping it will be fine. ### What kit is included, and what must I bring? A wetsuit, helmet and buoyancy aid. You must bring trainers that can get wet, or wetsuit boots. Open-toe shoes and wetsuit shoes are not accepted, because the rock is sharp and slippery. Your own full-length wetsuit is fine. From October to May we would rather you wear one of our winter suits unless yours is a proper winter thickness. ### Where do we meet? The beach base on Harlyn Bay, in front of the large pay-and-display car park, PL28 8PD. Kit up there, then walk onto the rocks with the guide. The coast path runs above the route if someone wants to watch. Toilets and two food outlets are in the car park. ### Is coasteering safe in the rain? Rain alone does not stop a session. You will be wet anyway, and some of the better days here have been grey. We cancel when the wind or swell makes the route unsafe. If we cancel, we rearrange or offer another activity if one is free. If you are driving a long way, message us the day before for a sense of the sea. ### Can I wear glasses? You can wear them for the brief on the sand. They come off before you get on the rocks, because a knock on a ledge is how lenses get lost or broken. We store them with the first-aid kit. If you cannot manage without them in the water, say so when you book so we can talk through whether this session is the right fit. ### How many people will be in the group? Between two and sixteen, with enough guides for the headcount. Two is the minimum for the session to run. If that number is not met, we will be in touch to move you. Larger groups, including hen and work bookings, can still run. Ask when you book so we have the right number of guides and suits. ### How fit do I need to be? You need to walk on uneven rock, swim through sections of open water and climb out onto ledges. You do not need to be an athlete. A basic level of fitness and confidence in the water is enough. If you have a joint issue or you are pregnant, this is not the right session. Ask us before you book rather than hoping the route will be gentle that day. ### What should I wear under the suit? Swimwear. Bring a towel and warm dry clothes for afterwards. Sunscreen still helps on a bright day, even if you spend most of the two hours in the water. Leave bags in the car. We can hold keys. If you need medication in the water, give it to the guide for the waterproof bag. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/coasteering-in-cornwall-1.webp - **Gallery image count**: 5 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
