Why Tenby?
Why Tenby Is One Of Wales' Best Kayaking Destinations
Tenby is one of Pembrokeshire’s most popular coastal towns and a brilliant base for kayaking, paddleboarding, family activities and adventure days.

What Can You See?
Coastal Views, Harbour Scenery, Wildlife And Tenby From The Water
Every kayaking session is different because Tenby’s coastline changes with the weather, tide and sea state. On suitable days, kayaking can offer views of beaches, cliffs, harbour scenery, seabirds and the wider Pembrokeshire coastline.
Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but kayaking is one of the quietest and most respectful ways to experience the sea. You are close to the water, close to the coastline and able to enjoy the area without rushing.
