Hit the beach, enjoy the waves
Located just a few minutes away from the coast and surf school at Westward Ho!, Beam House is the ultimate choice to enjoy beach activities such as bodyboarding and surfing. It’s not all sand and sea though, the woodland and fields that surround Beam House is home to an array of exciting land-based activities to discover.
This small centre’s laid back, family feel has led to our colleagues referring to it as not a Beam House, but a Beam Home!

Big adventures at Beam House
We’ve learned that children get the most from their PGL adventure when they’re with kids their own age, which is why we split our kids’ camps into three main age groups. Not only do children feel more confident and relaxed around same-age peers, it means their adventure will be perfectly tailored to suit their ability, offering age-appropriate excitement, challenges and activities to provide maximum enjoyment from their PGL experience.
Beam House is a unique centre offering high-adrenaline activities such as surfing and bodyboarding, which are best suited to slightly older guests. Because of this, Beam House is exclusively for 11-16 year olds.
Which Beam House adventure will you choose?
From dipping your toe into a short and sweet DISCOVER! Adventure, diving into the full multi-activity experience with an EXPLORE! Adventure or trying something extraordinary with a TRAILBLAZE! Adventure Surfing Camp- there’s something for everyone at PGL Beam House.
Which adventure will you choose?

Day camps, 1, 2 and 3 night stays jam packed with outdoor activities and new experiences.
