A high-profile and surreal addition to the landscape

A high-profile and surreal addition to the landscape, Surf Snowdonia is a ground-breaking

surf lagoon that allows you to catch consistent waves in a tree-lined valley miles from the sea. The technology is high-tech and the waves are artificial – they roll along once every 90 seconds, and form predictable heights in different parts of the lagoon, making them great for learning on – but the setting in a wide valley outside Dolgarrog is appealing and natural enough to make the experience thoroughly satisfying. Eco-pod accommodation, other activities including surf kayaking and a comedic ‘blob’ that launches participants high in the air complete the picture. If you’re inspired to get a taste of local seawater, try Rhosneigr or Aberdaron.
