Complete Guide To Coasteering

A complete guide to coasteering UK

The sport of coasteering is perfect for those who love the outdoors and want to take on a new challenge. Some of the most popular coasteering spots in the UK are along the rugged coastlines of Devon, and Cornwall. As well as Devon and Cornwall, Wales offers some of the most challenging coasteering routes.

There are several beginner routes where beginners can start safely before progressing to more challenging terrain as their skills improve. This guide will cover preparing for your coasteering adventure and what to expect once you’re out there!

Exactly what is coasteering?

Coasteering is an adventure sport that involves cliff jumping, scrambling, rock climbing, and sometimes caving and kayaking as well. In most instances, the event takes place on a rocky coastline, with participants climbing and jumping on cliffs and boulders. In some cases, they kayak or paddleboard to the next stop from the sea.

It was in the early 1990s that the sport of Coasteering began in the UK. The idea was born out of a desire to explore parts of the coastline that were too dangerous or difficult to explore on foot. The activity has become famous worldwide as a means of enjoying nature up close and having some adrenaline-pumping fun.

What is the best way to go coasteering?

Among the many aspects of coasteering are cliff-jumping, swimming, scrambling, and caving. As a result, coasteering requires a good understanding of the following skills:

  • the ability to swim well
  • be comfortable underwater and above the surface
  • tread water for a prolonged period

To get the hang of things, it is essential to go with an instructor the first time. Coasteering can be done as part of a guided tour along the coastline or as a standalone adventure. With the help of a qualified guide, it can be a safe and enjoyable experience for first-timers.

How do I go coasteering? What equipment do I need?

You should bring old trainers when scrambling on the rocks. Outside of landing areas, waves can become large, so finding safe footing is essential. Several routes require you to balance on slippery rocks or rocky bottoms, which can be very dangerous if you don’t wear footwear designed with non-slippery soles. Other commonly used gear depends on your level of experience and the sites you’re visiting. Here are some examples of equipment:

Drysuit, hooded wetsuit, or wetsuit with hood
An emergency life jacket
Protective helmet
Gloves
An emergency first aid kit
Throw line

Most activity centers provide all the additional gear you’ll need, including wetsuits and life jackets, as well as a guide and transportation when you coasteer with them.

Can you coasteer on your own or should you go to an activity center?

In some ways, coasteering is a team sport. The activity involves jumping from rocks and cliffs into deep water near the shore. The best adventures are made of working together, bonding with others, and working towards a shared goal.

With an activity center, you’ll go coasteering in a group with an experienced guide. In addition to knowing the best places to visit, safe water levels, sea conditions, and how to check the tides and weather for safety, they will also provide the gear needed to make coasteering adventures easier and safer.
