Lost Shore has, from its very inception, been passionate about the potential that Blue Health and specifically surfing can have in supporting the mental health of Scotland. 

We are extremely proud to have funded the world’s first PhD exclusively focused on surf therapy and have taken the learnings from that important research to heart. We have continued to collaborate with Dr Jamie Marshall, our Social and Health Innovation Lead, to ensure our approach to Blue Health is as integrated as possible in a manner not yet seen within the recreational experience space. 

Elements as broad as the physical design of our Cove, the training of our staff, and the structure of our visitor experience have been grounded in the latest scientific research on Blue Health, positive psychology and the emergent surf therapy sector. 

Building on this research we have even developed wellbeing packages for corporate groups and schools that take an evidence-based approach to looking after personal wellbeing and resilience. The integration of these learnings holistically across Lost Shore underlines our aim for everyone who visits us to leave feeling better than when they arrived!
