About Cornwall

Cornwall with its stunning landscapes offering a wealth of activities is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. In this guide, we’ll discover the best spots for paddle boarding in Cornwall, and walk the best of Cornwall’s islands’ coastal paths, and reveal the secrets to unforgettable island hopping adventures.

 

Paddle boarding in Cornwall

Paddle Boarding in Cornwall is a delight with its stunning coastal scenery and hidden creeks, beaches and coves, vast river estuaries and tranquil lakes. Along Cornwall’s north coast there are some superb coastal paddles leaving from St Ives to explore Carbis Bay or paddle routes near Newquay like the sheltered emerald waters of The Gannel or leaving from Towan Beach to visit the historic features of Newquay’s protected Harbour. Nearby, the charming fishing village and seafood Mecca of Padstow is a great launching point to paddle through the beautiful scenery of the Camel Estuary. Further west Port Isaac, perched on the dramatic cliffs, is a quaint fishing village and working fishing port, along with the more sheltered inlets of Port Quin and Port Gaverne with its quaint inn and SUP school – all ideal to explore by paddle board. Bude offers a couple of great paddle boarding beginners’ routes – one in the saltwater Bude Pool and Summerleaze Beach, and the other up a stretch of the Bude Canal.

Cornwall’s south coast also has a vast number of paddle boarding options. Near Land’s End the shallow, blue lagoons of Portcurno are always a great spot to SUP whilst Penzance offers island circumnavigations of St Michael’s Mount and the incredible hidden coves and sea caves of Prussia Cove. Around The Lizard Kynance Cove is on every paddle boarder’s bucket list, whilst nearby Cadgwith with its fleet of colourful crabbing boats is a fabulous place to launch to find the Devil’s Frying Pan, a 60m hole in the cliffs formed by a collapse cave. Fowey, steeped in history and character, is a wonderful place to paddleboard on the estuary with longer paddle routes inland to Lostwithial. The Fal Estuary, known as Carrick Roads, is the third largest natural harbour in the world fed by beautiful, tranquil creeks that offer endless paddle boarding routes in Mylor Creek, Restonguet Creek, and Cowland Creek. The Helford River itself is a glorious paddle boarding destination, again with a number of creeks leading into it, most noticeably the famous and romantic Frenchman’s Creek. Nearby, in St Mawes and the Percuil River you can paddleboard beneath St Mawe’s Castle or explore the vibrant waterfront. More adventurous paddlers can paddle from Truro to Falmouth, or explore the Roseland Peninsula on a unique journey possible with good tides. Close to St. Austell, with its glorious china clay heritage, there are several paddle boarding routes that explore Charlestown, Mevagissey and the lovely beaches of Portmellon, Pentewan Sands and Porthpean. There are some great cafes, beachside pubs and paddle board hire in a number of these places. Further east, Looe is a quaint coastal town with a picturesque harbour, and River Looe that can only really be explored by watercraft. It is possible to paddleboard the East Looe River and West Looe River – the latter only on higher tides.

Inland Cornwall too has plenty of paddle boarding options including Tamar, Siblyback, Stithians, Trevassak and other lakes that are ideal for beginners. Cornwall has so many extraordinary blue spaces to explore by paddle board, that it would be a lifetime’s work to paddle and log all of them.

Cornwall Island Hopping

For those who prefer land-based excursions, Cornwall has plenty of amazing coastal walks along the glorious South West Coast Path. This path stretches over 630 miles and offers an array of scenic walks suitable for all abilities. In this guide we focus on those walking routes around Cornwall’s islands. From the coastal paths around five of the islands of the Isles of Scilly (covered in a separate section), to the walk along the South West Coast Path to visit Zacry’s, Crane, and Samphire Islands, Bedruthen Steps, Porth, Trescore, and Godrevy. There is also a walking route around Looe Island to see the best of its wildlife and a walking to the top of St Michael’s Mount for some exceptional views. One of our favourites though is a wild swim around Asparagus Island near Kynance Cove. Each of these islands has its own character, from wildlife sanctuaries to historical sites and some great pubs, food and cafes.

For more information check out the tab above “Islands in Cornwall”.

For outdoor adventurers seeking to explore Cornwall’s paddle boarding spots, coastal walks, and island-hopping opportunities, this enchanting corner of England is unmatched. Find your next outdoor adventure in Cornwall by using these guides for inspiration and to plan ahead, checking local weather and tide information, and ensuring you have the right equipment for a safe and enjoyable experience. Whether you’re looking for a solo paddle board session at sunset or an island hopping adventure in Scilly, Cornwall’s outdoor activities will exceed your expectations.

 

 

 

Welcome to Cornwall, the UK’s paddling paradise. Paddle boarding in Cornwall is the sure way to discover the best of the rugged coastline, secluded beaches and coves, hidden creeks, and wildlife estuaries. It’s also one of the best ways to escape the holiday crowds and discover more of the county’s hidden natural and cultural treasures. Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or dipping your toes into the waters for the first time, Cornwall has something for everyone.

Why Paddle Boarding in Cornwall?

Cornwall’s allure for the paddle boarder lies in its diverse coastline, its vast and serene estuaries, its beach scene, and amazing wildlife – all perfect for paddle boarders of every stripe. Here, the ocean serves a dual purpose, it offers a tranquil escape for relaxing paddle or a challenging place for those craving more of an adrenaline surge. Paddle boarding in Cornwall invites you to experience the thrill of the waves, the calm of the creeks, and the beauty of the coastal scenery in a unique and invigorating way. There is plenty of wildlife to spot too from dolphins and seals to seabirds of every type. Inland Cornwall’s lakes offer more for the beginner or those looking to improve their skills. Throughout Cornwall, in most of the paddle boarding locations, there are some great pubs and cafes for ideal pitstops too.

 

Best Paddle Boarding Locations in Cornwall

After spending 6 months researching the best of paddle boarding Cornwall, here are some of my favourite areas to paddleboard in this stunning county.  Full route descriptions in Paddle boarding South West England book

 

Paddle boarding St Ives

Paddle boarding in St Ives is a great way to experience the charm of this charismatic Cornish town with its colourful fishing boats in the harbour, the iconic silhouette of St Ives’ historic buildings perched atop the cliffs. It is possible to launch into the harbour or from nearby Porthminster Beach and simply pootle about. For a longer excursion paddle from Carbis Bay into St Ives Harbour and return. Further south, beyond Carbis Bay, another paddle boarding location near St Ives is the Hayle Estuary, ideal for beginners, where the river flows into sweeping St Ives Bay. Renowned for its vibrant birdlife, spectacular sunrises, and sunsets it is one of only a few natural harbours on the South West’s north coast.

Paddle boarding Penzance

Mount’s Bay off Penzance is an excellent location for paddle boarding with a number of great options for all levels of experience. Paddle boarding in Mousehole offers an easy paddle around the idyllic Cornish harbour of “the loveliest village in England”on higher tides, or the more adventurous can paddle across to St Clement’s Island. There is also the option of leaving Marazion Beach to paddle around St Michael’s Mount, or to explore the secluded Perranuthnoe to Prussia Cove, an old smugglers cove and explore the caves and fabulous beaches nearby.

Paddle boarding The Lizard

Paddle around The Lizard is an incredible experience. Paddle boarding at Kynance Cove is on everyone’s Cornish bucket list. Although a bit of a hike down a cliff path to find the beach, you’ll not think twice about it once you see how beautiful it is. Mullion Cove on the north west side of The Lizard is another classic Cornwall paddle. Locked between plunging cliffs and a small guardian island, this idyllic fishing harbour and cove offers slightly more shelter to the paddler than much of the Lizard’s west coast. The more experienced paddler can circumnavigate Mullion Island. On the Lizard’s east coast the characterful fishing village of Cadgwith with its fleet of colourful crabbing boats is a fabulous place to launch to find the Devil’s Frying Pan, a 60m hole in the cliffs formed by a collapse cave.

Paddle boarding Newquay

Newquay, on the rugged coastline of north Cornwall, is a mecca for surfers on Fistral Beach but it offers more sheltered beaches too for the paddler. Tucked behind The Gazzle and protected by the Harbour and ‘The Island’, Towan Beach is a great place to paddle board. It’s possible to simply paddle around the beach area, explore the historic features of the harbour, or to extend the journey and paddle the length of The Gazzle to see the caves towards Towan Head. Further afield, options for paddle boarding Newquay include the gentle, emerald waters of The Gannel.

Paddle boarding Fowey

Fowey, on the southern coast of Cornwall, steeped in history and character is a wonderful place to paddleboard on the estuary.

From Fowey itself, there is plenty of opportunity for exploring the historic waterfront on both sides of the river, or to paddle further south to visit Moneypenny Cove.

Location and details for all paddle boarding routes near Fowey on our Routes map.

Paddle boarding Padstow

Padstow, on the rugged north coast of Cornwall, is a charming fishing port renowned for its seafood and beautiful scenery. Along the Camel Estuary, Padstow’s picturesque harbour bustles with activity as colourful fishing boats bob against the quay. The Camel Estuary, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is a broad tidal river valley, over half a mile wide at Padstow. It meanders inland for five miles up to Wadebridge, past woods and creeks that flank the estuary, all great to explore. There are also some great Cornish beaches for paddle boarding nearby, including Portreath where it is possible to paddle to a spectacular collapsed sea cave, as well as snorkel from your paddle board at the wonderful Trescore Islands.

Best Times to Paddle Board in Cornwall

Anytime is the best time to paddle board in Cornwall – as long as the weather is good. This section delves deeper into Cornwall’s seasonal offerings, ensuring your paddle boarding experience is the best the season can offer. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a curious beginner, understanding the best times to paddle board in Cornwall will make your experience more enjoyable. As a general rule, the north coast is more exposed to swell and surf than the south coast. Much of the south coast is protected from Atlantic swells by The Lizard peninsula and waves generally only make their way east of this in stormy conditions during the winter months.

 

Summer Bliss (June – August)

  • Overview: Peak season for warmth, sunshine, and calm seas generally makes this the best time to paddle in Cornwall
  • Benefits: Longer daylight hours, warmer water temperatures, generally lower winds and less rain; the cafes and pubs open for post-paddle refreshments. On the coast there will be lots of other water sports activity creating a real buzz, inland on the rivers and lakes the flowers, insects, birds and more will be at their most fecund. Summertime is often when SUP companies offer lessons and trips, and paddle board rental is available; more SUP events are also on offer.
  • Considerations: Popular beaches can be crowded; early morning or late evening sessions recommended; parking can be difficult; in very dry summer some inland lakes may lose water (and even close).

Autumn Adventures (September – November)

  • Overview: Transitioning weather with a mix of calm and increasingly windy days.
  • Benefits: Less crowded beaches, stunning autumnal scenery on the rivers and lakes, and potential for wildlife sightings as birds and marine animals start to migrate.
  • Considerations: Water begins to cool; appropriate gear like wetsuits becomes necessary.

Winter Wonders (December – February)

  • Overview: Crisp, chilly air and varied conditions.
  • Benefits: Solitude for those seeking peace, dramatic winter coastlines, and a challenge for experienced paddle boarders; beautiful frosty scenery around lakes and rivers. Great for sunrise photos as, unlike summer, they are not at unsociable hours of the day.
  • Considerations: Shorter days, colder water, and weather can be unpredictable; safety and proper equipment are paramount.

Spring Surprises (March – May)

  • Overview: Gradual warming, mixed bag of calm and breezy days.
  • Benefits: Fewer crowds, blooming nature, and a rejuvenating atmosphere.
  • Considerations: Water still cool (March has the coldest sea water temepratures); check weather conditions and marine forecasts.

 

Overall, Cornwall’s paddle board seasons offer unique opportunities for paddle boarders of all levels. From the tranquil waters of summer to the serene solitude of winter, each period holds its own charm. By selecting the optimal time for your paddle boarding adventure, you’re not just navigating the waters; you’re immersing yourself in the rhythmic flow of Cornwall’s natural beauty. So, seize your board, embrace the elements, and let Cornwall’s tides guide your next unforgettable journey.
