'Who'd have thought it?': north Devon named UK's first world surfing reserve
Eighteen miles of coastline win formal protection, joining 11 sites globally including Malibu and Santa Cruz.
Life could get even busier at Croyde and neighbouring beaches after next weekend, when 18 miles of the coastline are formally designated a world surfing reserve, joining 11 other stretches of coast, including Malibu and Santa Cruz in California, Punta de Lobos in Chile and Noosa in Australia.
It is the first place in the UK to achieve the designation, and champions of the project hope it will help protect the waves for future generations.
At the Museum of British Surfing in Braunton, Kevin "Cookie" Cook, the chair of the trustees, said north Devon should be proud to be taking its place on the world stage. "We stand alongside anywhere in the world - Malibu, Noosa, wherever. North Devon is our own little piece of heaven and we have to do our damndest to ensure what we've been so fortunate to enjoy is there for future generations - waves for all, for ever."

'Who'd have thought it?': north Devon named UK's first world surfing reserve
Eighteen miles of coastline win formal protection, joining 11 sites globally including Malibu and Santa Cruz.
Life could get even busier at Croyde and neighbouring beaches after next weekend, when 18 miles of the coastline are formally designated a world surfing reserve, joining 11 other stretches of coast, including Malibu and Santa Cruz in California, Punta de Lobos in Chile and Noosa in Australia.
It is the first place in the UK to achieve the designation, and champions of the project hope it will help protect the waves for future generations.
There is much more to do. Claire Moodie, the head of Plastic Free North Devon, which has a place on the reserve's local stewardship council, said beaches here, as in many parts of the UK, were blighted by sewage and microplastics. "Having that international designation proves how important this place is," she said. "It gives us more weight."
