If you and yours are raring to hit the water this summer then look no further than the shores of Teignmouth in sunny South Devon. Here you’ll find the excellent SeaSports Southwest, an RYA approved centre overflowing with water-based pursuits, courses and adventure days.

This super spot offers the choice of sea or river activity, making it the perfect place for both novice seamen and capable crew. There’s something to suit every age and ability, from windsurfing, sailing and kayaking to longboarding, jet skiing or power boating. You can even master them all on the action-packed activity week. The lovely, keen-as-beans instructors will gladly dispense their sea-faring knowledge. All you have to do is find your sea legs, learn the ropes and prepare to get wet.

And if all that sounds like just the ticket, then be sure to ask about the Centre’s excellent Pirate Parties. Providing the perfect stress-free alternative to the annual birthday bonanza, your little treasures can enjoy an afternoon of adventure aboard the Pirate Ship, scouring the waters and digging for booty Captain Hook style.
