Most photographs on Surfbooker are our own. Where we don't yet have our own photo of a place, we use openly licensed photographs of that exact place from Wikimedia Commons, credited below and on the page where each appears. We never use a photo of one beach to illustrate another, and we don't use businesses' photos without their permission.

1105 licensed photos from Wikimedia Commons are in use, alongside 128 Surfbooker photos. If you're a photographer and would like a credit changed, or a business with photos you'd like us to use, email hello@surfbooker.com.
