Kayaking & Canoeing

Devon’s vibrant English Riviera towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham are set on one of Devon’s most beautiful and most sheltered bays where beaches, secret coves, sea caves and inlets abound. The whole coastline has been designated UNESCO Global Geopark status on account of its amazing geology and Tor Bay is heaven for canoeing, kayaking and sea kayaking.

Reach Outdoors

The multi award winning Reach Outdoors Adventure Centre based at the Seashore Centre at Goodrington in Paignton offers single and tandem kayaks for hire. You can also try their Torbay Kayak Tours using sit-on-top kayaks, which are stable and user friendly. There are short 1.5 hour tours, half day and full day tours and a picnic lunch can be provided. They also offer wild camp kayak expeditions where you will explore sea caves around Berry Head and Sharkham Point, catch and cook your supper and sleep on a remote beach. Private tours require a minimum of 6 participants. Protective clothing and safety equipment is provided.
