Guides coach strokes on the beach and stay with the group throughout. We pick the launch site a few days ahead for the best weather window. Coffee after the tour and a beach fire on selected evenings add to the atmosphere when conditions allow. 📍 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 Children under 14 are not suited to this evening coastal format. Tandem paddling with an adult works well for younger teenagers building confidence. Engine-assisted craft can be discussed if needed. Tell us when you request a date so we can plan craft and guide cover. ✨ Why Choose Us Make your trip to the English Riviera an unforgettable experience by visiting Torbay's premier beach. We offer first-class equipment, friendly staff, professional beach hire services, expert tuition, free lockers, changing rooms, a beach shower and exceptional coffee when you are off the water. Our instructors and beach team know Babbacombe Bay inside out, from sheltered corners on breezy days to the best stretches for beginners. 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 Guided evening paddle Technical clothing and equipment Hot drinks after the tour Beach fire when conditions allow ### What’s not included Evening snacks and picnic items Beach clothes and swimming gear Transport to and from the meeting point ### Kit list What to Bring: Beach Clothes, Swimming Gear, Refreshments. ## FAQs ### What time should we arrive?
