Strangford Lough, County Down

If exploration and adventure is top of your wish list whilst out on your SUP, it’s hard to find a destination that can surpass Strangford Lough. Enclosed by the Ards Peninsula, the UK’s largest inlet is a place of seemingly endless opportunities for discovery – a watery paradise riddled with channel mazes and peppered with more than 70 islands to seek out and explore. With so many places to choose from, why not try Killyleagh in the south west corner and paddle to Salt Island Bothy, the perfect place for island adventure, and then onto Daft Eddie’s restaurant on Sketrick Island where you can tuck into a hearty meal after your SUP adventure.
