Stay
Five ways to sleep by the water
From a king room over the beach to a bunk above the kayak racks. Every room is a short walk from the sand.
Paddle
The cove is calm. The headland is not far.
Our guides run a morning tour along the sea caves, a sunset paddle most evenings and lessons for anyone who has never held a paddle. Or take a kayak out by the hour and find your own beach.
- Guided cove tour, two and a half hours
- Sunset paddle, ninety minutes
- Private lessons and a Sunday kids’ club
- Kayak and paddleboard hire by the hour
Stay and paddle
