Adventure Holidays and Weekends
The stunning coastline of the English Riveria is the perfect destination for your Adventure Holiday. With an array of beaches and a warm microclimate water-based activities are enjoyed by both locals and visitors.
Whether you’re seeking adventure, looking for wildlife or just fancy trying something new there is an abundance of activity providers in the local area offering lessons, guided expeditions and equipment hire meaning you can ensure you have a safe and exhilarating time. With the award winning Meadfoot beach just stone’s throw away, The Osborne Apartments provides the ideal base for your thrill-seeking pursuits.
Jet Skiing
Considering it boasts 22 miles of coastline, it’s no surprise that Torbay is one of the most popular jet skiing destinations in the UK. The Osborne Apartments is only a short distance from the three enclosed harbours: Torquay, Paignton and Brixham. From here you’ll be able to discover the local coastline as well as the Teign Estuary and River Dart.
Note if you are planning on using you own Jet Ski, you must first register with the Harbour Authority. Alternatively, Jet Set Go offers jet ski safaris and jet ski hire guided by a fully qualified instructor.
Paddle Boarding
Stand up paddle boarding (SUP) is a highly popular choice for those seeking to discover the beauty of South Devon’s coastline in the most tranquil way possible. Boasting some of the best water conditions for paddleboarding, Meadfoot Beach is a favourable destination for local paddleboarders. Propel yourself towards secluded beaches, hidden coves whilst admiring the natural history the area has to offer.
Sea Kayaking
Likewise, to jet skiing and paddle boarding, kayaking around the coastline offers an opportunity to get away from the crowd and explore hidden coastal features. The natural inquisitiveness of more elusive marine species such as seals, porpoises and dolphins can draw them into close proximity giving you an unforgettable experience.
If you don’t have your own equipment, or could do with some instruction, there are many local businesses who can help. Soak Lifestyle offers the hire of sit on top kayaks an excellent option for families and for those trying something new.
Coasteering
Discover sea caves and scramble over rocks to traverse the coastline and unearth our hidden landscape. Coasteering is the perfect blend of adrenaline fuelled activities including swimming, climbing and cliff jumping. Your coasteering experience can be tailored to you, making it suitable for those who have no fear or for those who are more tentative.
Reach Outdoors offers sessions between April and October each year, or private groups can be arranged all year round
