Water sports

A trip to Bewl Water splashes out a multitude of watery options, including canoeing, rowing, pedalos, boat trips and a waterborne adventure playground! This giant reservoir also offers camping and has a cafe and a bistro to keep you well fed. 

Full Throttle Boat Charters provides half-hour and one-hour boat trips from Rye Harbour, as well as private charters.

At Bodiam Boating Station on the River Rother you can canoe, kayak, row or stand-up paddleboard, or take a tranquil river cruise. You can also camp on the banks of the river and enjoy the Spanish-themed delights of the Lime Wharf Cafe.

If that all sounds not-quite-extreme enough for you, it's time to head for Camber and give Camber Kitesurfing or The Kitesurf Centre a call. They run lessons and courses in kitesurfing, kite buggying and power kiting – as well as the somewhat more serene paddleboarding.
