History of Coasteering

Coasteering originated in the early 1980s along the Pembrokeshire coast in Wales. It began as a way for mountain climbers and surfers to explore rocky cliffs, coves, and shorelines by scrambling, swimming, and jumping without the use of ropes or boards. The term "coasteering," first coined by Edward C Pyatt in 1973 combining "mountaineering" and "coast," was popularized in the mid-1980s by Andy Middleton of TWYF Adventures, who developed it into a commercially guided activity. By the 1990s, coasteering had grown into a popular adventure sport across the UK, spreading to other scenic coastal regions such as Cornwall and now worldwide, including the beautiful Costa Brava in Catalonia, Spain. The activity is celebrated for its mix of physical challenge, exploration, and close-up interaction with coastal nature.

The coasteering trip was so much fun! Our guide explained everything clearly and made sure we were comfortable with each jump and swim. It was my first time trying coasteering and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. Thank you for a memorable day!
