Coastal Paddling

>>Paddling>>Coastal Paddling

Here in the UK we are lucky enough to have access to some of the most stunning and dramatic coastline in the world. What better way to explore and take advantage of this than from a canoe or kayak?

Coastal paddling takes many forms, from kayak surfing through to gentle coastal touring and exploring. It is important that you seek the best advice and choose the correct boat for enjoying the sea and coastline.
Kayaks are perfect for fishing, nature watching, or simply exploring the bays, beaches, estuaries and creeks of the UK.

We must always have respect for the sea, so make sure you get the right equipment, clothing and best advice to ensure you enjoy our coastline in safety. Always check tidal and coastal conditions first. We can offer experienced advice on what equipment and gear to wear when heading out coastal paddling either in store, or online. Visit our What to Wear page to find out more. The British Isles has some fantastic scenery and versatile wildlife including seals, dolphins and birds. You can often get right up close to these gems, as canoeing and kayaking is virtually silent and at one with the environment.

Coastal paddling caters for a huge range of participants of different ages and abilities; from general beach fun on a Sit On Top, kayak sea-fishing, to multi day ‘Sea Kayaking’ adventures:

Sit on Top Sit on top kayaks are perfect for expeditions down estuaries or even surf.

Sea Kayaks Designed primarily for speed, these dedicated kayaks allow you to explore vast areas of coastline quickly.

Open Canoes Perfect for taking out on calm seas and estuaries, open canoes are a tranquil way to explore.
