Cornwall is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United Kingdom, and it's easy to see why. This English county has all of the traits that make it an ideal vacation spot. It's a lovely spot for a summer trip, with great weather, golden sandy beaches, and harbour towns.
That's why we are bringing you one of the most popular things you shouldn't miss when visiting Cornwall. You don't know what paddle surfing is, do you? Prepare yourselves, for this water sport is here to stay in England. It entails paddling through the water while maintaining your balance. It's the ideal discipline for getting in shape while also having fun.
This sport is not tough even if you have no prior experience, so if you're interested in paddle surfing in Cornwall, read on to know the best spots for SUP.
- Padstow: Located near the Bristol Channel, this town boasts some of Cornwall's best paddle surfing beaches. Harlyn Bay, the most important, is known for its calm seas and lack of wind. The crystal blue seas allow an underwater perspective to admire the grandeur of the marine flora and wildlife, and paddling a stand up paddleboard on this beach is an experience.
- Bude: This Cornish town in the north boasts fantastic beaches for family paddle boarding. This is because Bude's beaches include the most important safety characteristics, such as blue flags and fine golden sand. This part of the Celtic coast is a great place to get away from the city for a few days and enjoy some peace and quiet while doing some stand up paddling. In Bude, visit Millok Beach, Widemouth Bay, and Black Rock, perfect places for stand up paddleboarding.
- The Gannel Estuary: This beautiful river, which runs from Newquay to Crantock Beach, is one of the best places to go SUPing. It is known for its extraordinarily tranquil and crystal clear waters. Beginners and professionals alike come together to practice their balance while combining it with yoga or pilates. It is the perfect fusion of activities for a great day at the beach.
- Portreath: in Cornwall's northwestern corner, we find this town where we can highlight a one-of-a-kind and very special site to perform this sport. This is the place to go if you want to paddle with the best views of the cliffs as you will see a contrast of colours! The green hue of the hills and the turquoise blue of the waves will stun you!
You might even come across the area's resident marine seals and dolphins while canoeing. You'll reach the special location we mentioned if you travel a little further down the coast. This is Ralph's Cupoboard, a sea cave that collapsed and now has a beach inside it, and we're not going to tell you anything else so you can see for yourself.
- Sennen Cove: Famous for its incredible surf, this Cornish fishing community transforms into one of the country's most stunning places when the weather improves. Paddle surfing at Sennen Cove in the south is a one-of-a-kind experience. You will paddle alongside seals that live in a nearby sea cave while enjoying the wildlife on your board.
- Porthcurno Beach: If you want to feel like you're on a tropical island while doing your favourite sport, this is the place. Porthcurno's white sands and azure waves will confirm that this is one of Cornwall's most stunning sites. Paddle out to Logan Rock and take in the rock formations and coves you'll see along the way.
- Porthallow, the Lizard: For skilled stand-up paddleboarders, we recommend this Cornish resort. Set sail from one of the shingle beaches and enjoy a session of your favourite sport while enjoying the rock formations' magnificence. If you're up for it, we recommend visiting Porthoustock, which is solely for the brave and where, according to folklore, more than 200 ships have been wrecked on this 'quiet' stretch of coast.
- St. Michaels Mount: Regardless of your level of skill, you can hire a paddleboard or join a guided trip with a professional teacher to have one of the most memorable experiences of your life. Sail from Marazion Beach to this beautiful island with a magnificent 14th-century castle. This is a popular destination for families looking for coastal places to enjoy aquatic sports with their children.
- Carbis Bay: This beautiful bay is well protected, making paddleboarding safe. This makes it an excellent area to take the kids, but we don't recommend venturing too far away from the beach because the wind can become more exposed. We recommend paddling out to St. Ives or paddling out to the towering cliffs of Porthkidney Sands if you want spectacular scenery while paddling and cruising around the harbour.
With over 100 beaches suited for this activity here, the list could go on and on! But make sure you visit Newquay and its spectacular Towan Beach or the River Fowey for the best views of England's most beautiful county. Grab your SUP board and set out to explore the coast!
