Parking is free at The Wave

There is a 15 minute walk from the car park to The Clubhouse. Please remember to arrive at least 60 minutes before your surf and make sure you have signed your waiver online before arriving to site.

We have a very limited number of parking spaces at the Clubhouse for blue badge holders.

We can’t accommodate overnight camping in our car park. 

This is a term in our lease that we must respect. Therefore, very soon overnight car parking at The Wave will be monitored by Automated Number Plate Registration technology (ANPR). All cars that enter the car park will be tracked, and any that have not left by 11pm will be fined. Camp guests will be able to register their cars for the duration of their stay. This technology will be installed and managed by NPC and not by us here at The Wave.
