LOCATIONS

The Gazzle is a cliff-line steeped in history. Smugglers caves, natural rapids, craggy inlets and hidden coves; our coastline holds a host of secrets just waiting to be discovered.

Newquay Bay is one of the most sheltered stretches along Cornwall’s northern coastlines. At low tide, the pristine sand stretches all the way from Newquay’s harbour to the cliffs of Lusty Glaze beach. Seals and dolphins regularly frequent these waters and once out of Towan’s harbour, we’ll lead you along sections of coastline otherwise inaccessible by land.

Together with your experienced and qualified instructor you will assess the conditions, learn the fundamentals of beach and ocean safety and perfect your kayak skills before launching your craft into the water. Your tuition will be land and water based and pitched at a level to suit all group members.

Every adventure differs depending on the weather and swell conditions of the day, so get ready for an action packed paddle along Newquay’s scenic coastlines.

We’ve developed our kayaking routes in collaboration with the Cornwall Wildlife Trust, meaning our instructors can provide you with an in-depth guidance of the native flora and fauna along the coastlines. We’ll also regale you with tales of history, myth and legend.

During a recent eco-coasteer we found over 80 marine species along the Gazzle stretch alone.

Preserving the quality of our coastal environment and ensuring its protection is a number one priority of the Newquay Activity Centre.

We live to enjoy everything the coast has to offer and having clean, litter free waters is vitally important for the health and safety of native wildlife, as well as our own.
