Great little surf shack hiring out all you need for a day in the waves. Mostly soft boards available but there are one or two hard boards. I was given a warmer wetsuit at request and the friendly staff member (Leah) let me take some boots too for extra warmth. I appreciated being offered back the difference on my rental charge as I paid for the full day but was out of the water after only half the day. That's great service. Cheers! · via Google [Jack Fuller](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/111801969243317636968/reviews) ★★★★★ Cracking. Rented a foamy board for a couple of hours surfing, reasonably priced. Great regular waves on the smaller size, fab for beginners as you don't get completely wiped out. Staff member there was super helpful and chatty. Would certainly come again. 🙌 · via Google [myles dale](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115756068519823506968/reviews) ★★★★★ Great lesson and excellant staff. The bondi beach of the Yorkshire coast, surfs up dude! 🏄‍♂️ · via Google [Ben Saxon](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/100308747334221052331/reviews) ★★★★★ Sadly surf lesson cancelled because the weather was too nice (amazing!) but Leah went out of her way to help find alternatives for us. They also gave us plenty of notice re cancellation. We visit Whitby several times a year and I cannot recommend this place enough. What I would say is that if a lesson is cancelled do try and keep the money in their business through another lesson, or a body board hire or merchandise etc as they truly are at the mercy of the weather! · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x487f19d48bb619c3:0xf79aae7b070186d4!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** Lower Cliff lift, West Cliff Beach, Whitby, YO21 3EN [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=54.4912357%2C-0.6230378) **Category** Watersports **Guest rating** 4.6 / 5 (21 reviews) **Suitable for** Ages 4+ **Setting** Outdoor **Destination** Whitby [More attractions in Whitby](https://staycation.co.uk/whitby/attractions) ★ 4.6 (21 reviews) [Visit official website](https://en-gb.facebook.com/WhitbySurfSchool/?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [07794 271957](tel:07794271957) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Whitby **Postcode** YO21 3EN **Payment** Cards **Plus Code** 9C6XF9RG+FQ [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x487f19d48bb619c3:0xf79aae7b070186d4!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487f19d48bb619c3:0xf79aae7b070186d4!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x487f19d48bb619c3:0xf79aae7b070186d4!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Whitby Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
