Coasteering is movement along the intertidal zone[1] of a rocky coastline on foot or by swimming, without the aid of boats, surf boards or other craft.
Coasteering allows a person to move in the “impact zone” between a body of water and the coast where waves, tides, wind, rocks, cliffs, gullies, and caves come together.
The term was first used by Edward C Pyatt[2] as the combination of the words "mountaineering" and "coast"[3] and was adopted by Andy Middleton in Wales in 1985, who then made it a business idea.[4]
