Where to Paddleboard in Porthcawl, South Wales

Porthcawl Paddleboarding with Outdoor Explore Wales

Join one of Outdoor Explore Wales’ exciting paddleboard adventures on the beautiful Welsh south coast, exploring Porthcawl from the sea’s perspective.

Providing the wind direction is favourable, we offer you the opportunity to enjoy some of the most beautiful coastlines from the sea, without the noise of any engines! Check out our favourite journeys in the area and join us for a truly unique paddle.


Enjoy our full-day Porthcawl & Chips Paddle, with a chippy lunch break! Leaving from the popular Rest Bay, we’ll paddle south, exploring the cliffs towards Porthcawl seafront and round the lighthouse into Sandy Bay, where we’ll stop for some well-earned food – bring your own, or we can show you the best chippy in town!

Paddling after a chippy lunch is slow going!

Duration: 5-6 hours

Difficulty: Intermediate (you should have some SUP experience and a reasonable level of SUP fitness, ask if you’re not sure!)


Or how about our shorter, half-day Explore Porthcawl Sea Paddle? Starting from Sandy Bay or Rest Bay, we’ll take a slow-paced, relaxing paddle along the coastline, exploring the South Wales coast from a unique perspective.

Just chilling, enjoying a slow-paced adventure.
