Adventure Tips
Check Tide Times Before Booking
Marazion’s tides are powerful and influence water depth and current strength; plan your lesson around mid to high tide for the safest conditions.
Wear Quick-Drying Layers
Expect to get wet – layered synthetic clothing dries fast and keeps you warm without bulk.
Bring Waterproof Sunscreen
Reflections from the water intensify UV exposure, even on cloudy days, so protect your skin.
Use Non-Slip Footwear
Beach rocks and wet surfaces can be slippery; water shoes or grippy sandals improve footing on and off the board.
Local Insights
Wildlife
- Common seals often spotted resting on rocks near shore
- Oystercatchers and other coastal bird species frequent the intertidal zone
History
Marazion’s history intertwines with St Michael’s Mount, a medieval island fortress accessible by causeway at low tide, shaping local maritime traditions.
Conservation
Ocean High emphasizes low-impact paddling practices to preserve the fragile coastal ecosystem and promote awareness of marine biodiversity.
