Wildlife encounters are another highlight of paddle boarding in Torbay. Seals are often spotted basking on the rocks, and if you’re lucky, you might share the water with playful dolphins. Even seabirds diving into the shimmering waves add to the sense of connection with nature.

For guests at Earlston House, this is more than just a sporting activity — it’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and tranquillity of one of Devon’s most stunning coastal locations.

As you glide across the water, you’ll be treated to breathtaking coastal scenery — from the dramatic red sandstone cliffs to hidden geological wonders like the Hindu Temple Caves, Armchair Rock, and the striking London Bridge sea arch. Many of these natural features are only accessible from the sea, giving paddle boarders an exclusive perspective of the English Riviera’s beauty. The journey can take you to secret beaches and secluded coves, perfect for a quiet rest before heading back to shore.
