Portreath Surf Life Saving Club

The club’s first home was the ‘Signal Box’, a wooden building painted in the club colours of green and black, which stood on the seafront car park. After it was badly damaged by fire, members were provided with a workmen’s tiny corrugated iron shed as temporary accommodation. From there the club moved to a much larger wooden chalet and this was replaced by purpose built headquarters opened in 1976. This building has just been demolished to make way for a brand new £370,000 clubhouse which will has two storeys, a balcony and the finest facilities of any surf club in the country. Funding for this project has been provided by Sport England, the Foundation for Sports and the Arts, Kerrier Council and Portreath Improvements’ Committee.
