Edible plants and inter-tidal finds are talked through on the sand, with a taste of what the shore offers that evening. The route stays short so there is time to cook and sit, not just cover water. 📋 Key Details Duration: About 3 hours Meeting point: Oddicombe Beach, Torquay, TQ1 3LB Minimum age: 4 years, with under 18s accompanied by an adult Group: Up to 12 paddlers Kit: Kayak, paddle, buoyancy aid and technical clothing 👀 What to Expect Meet on the sand in the late afternoon, get kit fitted, and hear the plan for Thatcher Rock and the cove. Once everyone is afloat, the guide leads an easy loop, then lands for foraging and a fire while the sun goes. Seasonal start times sit around 17:30 in midsummer and earlier as the evenings shorten. Pack a little extra food if you want more than the tasting at the fire. We confirm the clock when we approve your date. Come a few minutes early so kit does not eat into the last good light on the water. 📍 Location Oddicombe sits on Babbacombe Bay, with Thatcher Rock just offshore and caves along the cliff line. The launch is sand, and south-westerly wind is blocked here, which helps an evening forage stay in kinder water. The cove we use depends on tide and swell. Changing rooms and lockers are at the base when we are operating. There is no parking on the beach, so most people use the cliff railway or walk down Beach Road. ✅ Prerequisites No previous kayaking is needed. Be happy getting a little wet and able to follow a brief on the sand. Children from 4 can join when they fit a buoyancy aid, and anyone under 18 paddles with a responsible adult. Bring a warm layer for sitting by the fire after you land. Mention any allergies or dietary notes when you request a date so we can plan the tasting. A phone light helps on the path up if you finish close to dark. ⭐ Why Choose Us Guides on this outing talk through what is safe to pick and what to leave, then cook a little of it at the fire rather than handing out a printed list. The paddle around Thatcher Rock is the start of the evening, not the whole point. Technical clothing is fitted before you launch, and the group stays together at an easy pace. Mixed ages can share the same forage without a long-distance plan. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Guided sunset forage sea kayak of about 3 hours Kayak, paddle and buoyancy aid Technical clothing suited to the evening Guided forage, tasting and a beach fire Guide on the water throughout ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point A full evening meal beyond the tasting at the fire Warm layers for sitting on the beach Parking near Babbacombe Downs ### Kit list Warm layers for sitting by the fire A towel and a spare top Old shoes or wet shoes A phone light for the path up if you finish close to dark Extra snacks if you want more than the tasting ## FAQs ### How long is the evening? About three hours from check-in through to packing kit away, including the paddle around Thatcher Rock, the forage and time at the fire. Seasonal starts sit around 17:30 in midsummer and earlier as the evenings shorten. We confirm the clock when we approve your date. ### What will we eat? A tasting of what the shore offers that evening, talked through on the sand and cooked a little at the fire. It is not a full evening meal. Pack extra snacks if you want more than the tasting. Tell us allergies when you request a date so we can plan what to pick and cook. ### Do I need kayaking experience? No. The guide coaches a forward stroke and how to stay with the group before you head toward Thatcher Rock. First-timers share the same evening as people who already paddle a little. Say if anyone is nervous so we can pair them in a tandem and keep the first minutes inside the bay. ### What is the minimum age? Four, when the child fits a buoyancy aid. Anyone under 18 paddles with a responsible adult. Younger children usually share a tandem. Tell us ages when you request a date so we put the right boats out. The pace stays with the slowest boat. ### Where do we meet? Oddicombe Beach, Beach Road, Torquay, TQ1 3LB. Walk down to the watersports desk beside the slipway. There is no parking on the sand. The cliff railway from Babbacombe Downs is the usual way down. Allow extra time on busy summer evenings, then come to the desk ready to change. ### What kit is included? A kayak, paddle, buoyancy aid and technical clothing suited to a cooler evening on the water. Everything is fitted on the sand before you launch. Bring a warm layer for sitting by the fire. Leave phones in the car unless you have a case you are happy to get wet. ### Can a group of four book together? Yes. A group of four can take the group option shown when you request a date, which keeps the forage and fire for your party. Tell us your headcount in advance. Extra people cannot just join on the sand without warning. ### What should we bring? Warm layers for sitting by the fire, a towel, old or wet shoes, and a light for the path up if you finish close to dark. Extra snacks help if you want more than the tasting. Sun cream can still matter on a bright evening. Mention allergies so we can plan the forage. ### What if the weather is poor? We shorten the loop or stay inside the bay if wind or swell makes Thatcher Rock or the cove unsafe. Rain alone does not stop the outing. We contact you as early as we can if the start has to move. The fire only happens when the shore is usable. ### Will we see wildlife? Seals and seabirds use this coast toward dusk, and we watch from the boats. The forage itself is plants and inter-tidal finds, not a wildlife guarantee. We never promise a sighting. The cave line, Thatcher Rock and the fire are the sure part of the evening. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/EspgGXrw.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 8 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
