16 KM
Grade A
This trip offers wildlife, history, coastal paddling and crossings all in a very small area. Being sheltered from the ocean swell it can give a great day out when other venues would be too exposed. For the sea kayaker new to tidal planning and paddling, it is the perfect trip to start gaining such experience.
