This is definitely one of the beaches you should come to while staying at the Devon or the Torquay cottages. Between March and November dogs are not permitted on the beach.

If you have never tried windsurfing, this could be your chance to get started. Windsurfing is possible through Lushwind which is AALA and RYA approved. You can have a great time of windsurfing when you visit this beach.
Kayaking - Another way to enjoy your day at Blackpool Sands is to try kayaking. Kayaking is a great way to explore the beach and get some exercise at the same time. You can choose either the single kayaks or the double kayaks or even the triple kayaks. Kayaks can be rented at the beach for a period of one hour.

Paddle Boards - Paddle Boarding is a new activity that has become very popular in a short time. You will have to stand on a board and paddle - sounds easy? Not so, paddle boarding is not as easy as it sounds. You will be given a board and a long paddle. You will have to stand straight and paddle over the water and keep your balance at the same time so that you do not fall down in the water. After a couple of tries you will get the hang of it and you will begin to enjoy this activity.
