sunrise Kayak or SUP tours
Babbacombe receives the most beautiful sunrises with the sun rising out of the sea. We meet just before sunrise to watch it rise up as we head out onto the water. We paddle through the early morning hours as the marine wildlife is awaking. This creates amazing opportunities for wildlife observation and often at a time of day before the bucket and spade brigade or any pleasure craft have arrived.
