The event

200 cars on a clifftop above the Atlantic

In summer 2020 Wavelength, Europe's original surf magazine, ran a drive-in cinema series on the cliffs above Watergate Bay, with space for more than 200 cars and vans. Screenings ran from late July to early September and included Point Break, Blue Juice and live sets from Fisherman's Friends.
