Benefits
Canoeing provides excellent low impact exercise and is the quietest and least obtrusive way of exploring the far recesses of the harbour, to enjoy the tranquillity and observe many bird species and maybe seals if you are lucky.
Be sure to check out the activities of our club and the many varieties of paddling we get up to.
