We woke to dramatic skies and set off on our final run / swim. Those who chose to run, were treated to a jog across the beach whilst the sea pool offered a peaceful dip to start the day.

Some children tried mountain boarding for the first time today – many avid skateboarders showed off their skills, whizzing down the hill at high speed. Others were more cautious, but everyone had a go.

Endurance was the theme of the day from Donna’s reflection last night and this was tested yet again as we pushed, pulled and heaved our wetsuits on. Although the effort is always worth it when we experience the UK’s Beach of the Year 2026! Body boarding has been voted by many as their favourite activity of the week and this was evident in the pure joy on their faces taking on the waves. Screams of delight echoed from the shallows.

A final trip to the tuck shop this evening and the children reassured us that boxes of fudge had been bought for family members, not midnight snacks.

After a disco and awards night, we shall all sleep well tonight! We are all looking forward to seeing our families tomorrow after a very successful week!
