Penzance, Cornwall
Location Type: Sea
Penzance, Cornwall, is a great place for beginners to start a paddle. Glide over glass-clear waters of Mount’s Bay heading toward St Michael’s Mount, keeping an eye out for sea life on the way. Jellyfish and starfish are among the most common species to inhabit the shores, as well as the occasional seal bobbing in the waves, while dolphins and basking sharks are known to show their fins further afield during summer through to autumn. Be sure to approach St Michael’s Mount to the south end, avoiding any possible collision with the walkway that connects it to the mainland at low tide, before circling back to shore.
