Visit Lost Shore
Lost Shore Surf Resort is Europe’s largest inland surfing destination. But it's so much more than this! It’s a place to get close to nature, a place to just be, a place to hang out, to have fun, relax, unwind and to always leave with a smile on your face.
It's the range of other activities that you can enjoy alongside the leisure offerings that make Lost Shore so special. Set within extensive grounds, with walks and trails that wind their way around the various areas of the site, and along the canal on our eastern edge.
Admissions
We will be open all year round from 8am to 11pm apart from Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
Entry is FREE for anyone to come in and enjoy the resort. Surfing is a fantastic spectator sport, and who knows, next visit you may be tempted to come and do more than just watch!
