Tuna Surf Camp

Scarborough’s North Bay offers one of England’s most inviting coastal playgrounds, with its blue-flag beach drawing families and water enthusiasts to its sweeping sands and rolling surf. Here, Dexter’s Surf Shop stands out as a cornerstone of local outdoor culture, uniquely serving young surfers through its Tuna Surf Camp—a half-day surf club dedicated to kids aged 8 to 16. This camp blends hands-on surf education with engaging, action-packed sessions against the backdrop of one of Yorkshire’s most scenic shorelines.

Dexter’s Surf Shop leverages its deep roots in Scarborough’s vibrant seaside community, providing expert guidance from fully qualified instructors who prioritize both safety and skill-building. The camp runs four mornings of 2.5-hour sessions, delivering a comprehensive surfing experience that’s as much about confidence-building as it is about catching waves. The gently breaking waves and consistent swell of North Bay create an idyllic setting for beginners and intermediate young surfers to sharpen their technique and enjoy the ocean’s natural rhythm.

The North Bay coastline is known not only for its fine sand and clear water but also for its geological features formed over millennia, including chalk cliffs that rise dramatically nearby, adding dramatic scenery to every run. The beach’s ecological health is bolstered by its blue flag status, reflecting a commitment to cleanliness and safety, which further enhances the quality of the surf camp experience. Tuna Surf Camp at Dexter’s also plays a vital role within Scarborough’s outdoor landscape by fostering a new generation's connection to the sea, promoting sustainable beach use, and encouraging active, outdoor lifestyles.

It’s a standout program for families seeking credentialed instruction combined with the joy and vitality of surf culture, making it a prime destination for young adventurers eager to dive into Britain’s coastal waves.
