If you like excitement and real adrenalin thrills Exmoor gives you the chance to try something a little more adventurous!

When the right conditions prevail Lynmouth Bay provides excellent surfing for the experienced surfer whilst the sandy beaches at Croyde and Woolacombe are popular for the professional and beginner alike. Sea kayaking and paddleboarding is also a popular sport in Porlock and Combe Martin along the stunning Exmoor coast.
