Fancy exploring Brighton's coastline from the water? This eight hour sea kayaking experience sets off from Brighton Marina and is ideal for beginners looking to build their skills while enjoying a full day out on the sea. You'll join a small group with an instructor to learn paddle techniques, how to handle waves and essential water safety skills. With a whole day on the water, there's plenty of time to practise, grow in confidence and explore more of the coastline. Head east from Brighton's busy seafront and you'll soon discover a quieter, wilder side of the coast. Take in the striking white cliffs and undercliff walkways towards Ovingdean, with a completely different view of the Sussex shoreline from your kayak. Available from March to October, it's a brilliant way to spend a day by the sea.
