Clacton Day Sea Kayaking Trip

NOMAD Sea Kayaking | 2026 Season Opener

Join us for a day coastal paddle from Brightlingsea to Clacton-on-Sea and return — handrailing the beach in shallow water, building distance, confidence, and flow with a strong, like-minded group.

This trip is open to NOMAD Sea Kayaking Members and retail guests. It’s a chance to stretch the legs, embrace moderate sea conditions, and start the 2026 paddling season properly — fresh air, steady miles, and good company.

No roll required. You must be comfortable with recoveries, reasonably fit, and equipped for winter conditions. This is a guided trip, but all paddlers must be fully self-sufficient.
