Your Weekend By The Sea
Adventure, Confidence And A Proper Break
This is not a boot camp and you do not need to arrive as a confident surfer.
The Salty Sisters weekend is designed for women who want to try something new, develop their water confidence and spend a refreshing weekend with a welcoming group on the Pembrokeshire coast.
Our qualified team adapts each session to the conditions and the group. Surfing and paddle boarding are at the heart of the weekend, with kayaking or coasteering used where conditions and the selected programme allow.
- Complete beginners and improving surfers welcomed
- Small, supportive women-only group
- Qualified coaching and full safety briefings
- Beautiful locations across South Pembrokeshire

Travelling Solo?
Most Women Join On Their Own
You do not need to persuade a friend to come with you. The majority of guests arrive independently, and the shared activities make it easy to get to know everyone naturally.
There is no pressure to perform, compete or already be good at surfing. Come as you are, try something new and enjoy a weekend with women who are doing exactly the same.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Join Us
Can I attend the retreat on my own?
Yes. Most women attend independently, and the weekend is intentionally designed to be friendly and easy to join alone.
Do I need previous surfing experience?
No. Complete beginners are welcome, as are women who have surfed before and want to improve their confidence.
What activities will we do?
Surfing and paddle boarding are central to the weekend. Kayaking or coasteering may also feature depending on the selected package, weather, tides and sea conditions.
Are wetsuits and equipment included?
Yes. The specialist equipment required for your included sessions is supplied, including wetsuits and the appropriate safety equipment.
Where will the activities take place?
Locations may include Freshwater West, Manorbier, Tenby North Beach, Saundersfoot Harbour and Stackpole Quay. The final plan is chosen according to conditions.
Where is the accommodation?
Accommodation is in South Pembrokeshire and varies by weekend. Selected dates use glamping domes, while others may use country or hotel-style accommodation. Check your booking details for the exact property.
Is food included?
Please check the live package details. Accommodation commonly includes self-catering facilities, and the group usually meets for a Saturday evening meal paid for individually.
Do I need a car?
Activity locations can be rural, so travelling by car is helpful. Guests often car-share once the group has arrived. Contact the office for public transport guidance before booking.
How fit do I need to be?
You do not need to be exceptionally fit, but you must be comfortable taking part in active outdoor sessions and able to swim at least 25 metres unaided.
What should I bring?
Bring swimwear, towels, warm clothes, suitable footwear, personal medication, casual evening clothes and plenty of enthusiasm.
When will I receive the final itinerary?
The team will provide an outline before the retreat and confirm final activity details once the latest weather, swell and tide information is available.
What happens if conditions change?
Activities and locations may be adapted to keep the weekend safe and enjoyable. The sea always has the final say, and the team will choose the best suitable option available.
