Day one covers safety brief, loaded boats and a journey to a secluded lunch cove; day two is a shorter return paddle with more exploration. Launch sites rotate around Brixham, Stoke Gabriel, Meadfoot and Oddicombe. 📍 Location Babbacombe Beach alongside Oddicombe Beach is a sheltered cove on the English Riviera with clean water and Blue Flag recognition stretching back 37 years. SW winds are blocked here, so the bay stays calmer than much of the open coast and feels more Mediterranean than many Devon beaches. You launch straight from the sand with caves nearby and regular seal encounters in season. Parking sits close to the beach, and our team is on hand for kit, a safety brief, and advice on the marked paddling area before you head out. ✅ Prerequisites Improvers should be comfortable paddling several hours with guide support. Basic swimming confidence helps for optional wild swims. Accommodation is not included. We meet at Oddicombe on day one unless we message you with an alternate launch for weather. ✨ Why Choose Us Make your trip to the English Riviera an unforgettable experience by visiting Torbay's premier beach.

They fit buoyancy aids, talk through local conditions, and help you choose the right craft so you feel confident on the water. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Kayaking equipment Experienced instructor guidance Refreshments and lunch ingredients for beach cooking ### What’s not included Beach clothes, wet shoes and swimming gear Water, snacks and personal lunch unless arranged Sun protection and waterproof camera case Transport and accommodation ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### Is this suitable for beginners? This adventure targets improvers who want mileage and exploration rather than a first-time intro course. If you are new to kayaking, ask about our beginners courses before booking this two-day Geopark trip. ### Can we extend into wild camping? Some groups add a wild camp variant with notice. Tell us when you request dates if you want an overnight expedition format. We will outline kit, tides and pricing for camping extensions when we reply to your request. ### What will we do on the session? Your session starts on the beach with kit issue and a safety brief tailored to the day's conditions. Your instructor or guide stays with the group throughout, coaching skills on the sand and on the water so everyone can progress at a comfortable pace. Routes stay inside sheltered Babbacombe Bay unless the product description takes you further along the coast when the sea state allows. There is time to rest, ask questions, and take in caves, wildlife, and the Blue Flag water that makes Oddicombe a favourite with locals. ### What is included? Guided sessions include your instructor or skipper, technical equipment for the activity, and a safety brief on the beach or at the boat. Oilskin jackets or similar are provided where the product description lists them. Changing rooms are available at the beach base. ### What should I bring? Bring swimwear or quick-dry layers, sun cream, a hat, and drinking water. Longer tours may need snacks and extra layers. Wetsuits are optional for many sessions unless you feel the cold. Dry bags can be rented on site. ### Who is this session for? Session suitability is shown on your chosen product. Beginners are welcome on many tours and lessons when you are happy to get wet and try kneeling or standing with guidance. Listen to your instructor, stay with the group unless told otherwise, and let us know before the session if anyone in your party has medical needs or limited swimming confidence. ### Why paddle at Oddicombe Beach?
