Loe Beach is literally a haven for watersports. The picturesque and sheltered cove between Truro and Falmouth is the ideal spot to explore the tranquil waters along this beautiful part of the river.

We were met by our friendly instructor Ally, who has been running Loe Beach Watersports since 2004. Ally has over 14 years watersporting experience and is a laid back and lovely bloke, we immediately felt in very safe hands.

Loe Beach has a vast array of watersports on offer throughout the year for both the novice and professionals.There’s also range of options to hire, including kayaks, paddleboards, motor boats and row boats, as well as sailing dinghies. With so much choice we felt like kids in a candy store, we eventually settled on stand up paddleboarding. 

Stand Up Paddleboarding...

Instructor Ally got us up and paddling with confidence, mastering the basics of standing up and steering our boards. After a some expert tips on where best to explore, we were off - propelling ourselves down river, gliding effortlessly across the crystal clear water.

Paddleboarding is great for those who are less concerned with action than with enjoyment! There is no doubt the calm waters at Loe Beach certainly made it easier to master, however it really is a relaxing activity and far easier than you might think.

Following Ally's advise, we weaved our way along the coastline to Pill Creek and it didn't dissapoint, an oasis of tranquillity and birdsong, ancient woodlands and secluded coves teeming with wildlife.
