ABOUT

Tide & Timber Paddle Co.

Tide & Timber Paddle Co. offers relaxed, premium paddleboarding experiences designed for visitors who want to slow down and experience the coastline from a different perspective. From sunrise sessions on glassy water to guided coastal routes past secluded beaches and sea caves, every trip is designed to feel calm, memorable and deeply connected to nature. Whether you are completely new to paddleboarding or already confident on the water, the experience is tailored around enjoyment, scenery and atmosphere rather than intense sport. With high-quality equipment, experienced local guides and some of the South West’s most beautiful waters, Tide & Timber creates unforgettable moments both on and off the board.

What makes your business or experience unique within the South West?

What makes Tide & Timber unique is the way we combine adventure with calm, premium experiences on the water. Our sessions are designed to feel relaxed, welcoming and scenic, allowing visitors to experience the coastline at a slower pace while still enjoying something memorable and active.

What kind of experience do you hope visitors leave with after spending time with you?

We want visitors to leave feeling refreshed, connected to nature and genuinely present. Whether it’s a peaceful sunrise paddle or exploring hidden coves along the coast, the goal is to create experiences that people remember long after they leave Devon.

Is there anything about your space, setting or approach that people particularly remember?

People often remember the atmosphere more than anything else — calm mornings on still water, hidden beaches only accessible by paddleboard, and the feeling of escaping the busy world for a few hours.

If someone was visiting for the first time, what would you recommend they experience most?

For first-time visitors, we always recommend our guided coastal paddle experience. It gives people the chance to explore beautiful scenery safely while learning the basics in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.
