  • Francesca Welch

Americas No1 beach hits the shores of Newquay at Boardmasters!

MISSION

St Pete’s Clearwater tasked us with creating a beachside activation to replicate Pier 60 in St Pete’s, Clearwater Florida. The core objective was to promote and drive interest amongst families to consider Florida as their next holiday destination.
SOLUTION


Our solution was simple; recreate the famous Pier 60 at Boardmasters! A place to host daily street performances including unicyclists, jugglers and magicians. The pier hosted competition giveaway, daily street art and a VR activation where individuals could be transported to Florida, experiencing all the activities on offer including canoeing, paragliding & even dipping their toes into the Atlantic!
