Safety & Conditions

Given the nature of the beach here at Wittering its not always suitable for us to hire to beginners or intermediates. It can be the perfect spot to learn and progress but when its pushing onto the shingle at high tide or if its too windy its not really suitable. We reserve the right to refuse hire for any reason so do give us a call in the shop before hand to make sure the conditions are suitable and the tide times work.
