Clifton court is an ideal place to simply kick back and relax, but if you’re feeling energetic, you might like to check out:
http://www.redwoodsurfshop.co.uk in nearby Croyde for wetsuit and surfboard hire. You can also get surfing lessons at reasonable prices.
Alternatively, if you just want to have a crash about a bit in the sea, you can safely body-board all year round, although a good wetsuit is necessary during the winter months.
