    “Note that surfing here involves carrying your board up and down a nearly 100m high cliff/steep slope or that people tend to surf at the north end of the beach (in fact Pentire Steps Beach), not in front of the steps down from the National Trust Cafe/Car Park, where you can easily get cut off by rising tides.”
