Description
What we do
Since East Coast Adventure was founded in the early ninety's, it has gone from strength to strength. Our philosophy is simple. Good food, the best staff and non-stop adventure in a comfortable safe environment.

Where we are
Based in the Mountains of Mourne on the shores of Carlingford Lough, East Coast Adventure has the perfect backdrop for an action packed trip. Our purpose built facility sits on the side of a mountain 3 miles outside the village of Rostrevor. Rostrevor is conveniently situated 60 minutes from Dublin airport and 50 minutes from Belfast.

The Centre
The centre can sleep up to 75 people and all residential programmes are fully catered. The centre can be split into two self-sufficient levels making it easy to split groups up if necessary. We are equipped with TV, DVD, VCR and wireless broadband. Groups have 24-hour access to tea, coffee and snacks.

Supervision
Outside session time East Coast Adventure offers a Duty Instructor Service. The Duty Instructor stays in the centre 24 hours and will assist group leaders in everything from getting the group up in the morning to organising bags onto the bus at the end of your stay. The duty instructor is also responsible for security and maintaining a safe environment for your stay.
