South Sands Beach Kayak Forecast

Salcombe · United Kingdom

South Sands Beach scores 77/100 for kayak today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces SE. A sheltered, sandy cove at the mouth of the Salcombe estuary, with a sandy bottom and submerged rocks a hazard. Surf is highly inconsistent, making this mainly a calm-water venue for kayaking, sailing, windsurfing, paddleboarding, and diving. The beach shrinks at high tide and estuary current runs through the channel; mid-to-low tide is safer for entry/exit. No lifeguard service here. Dogs banned 1 May-30 September, except on-lead for the ferry.
