News and Events
The coastline of Cornwall is made up of stunning cliffs, golden beaches, historic ports and harbours, plus some amazing wildlife.
A kayak offers a unique opportunity to explore all this in a safe way within the club environment. Various club trips are organized throughout the year which cater for all levels of experience. These are all led by our team of BC qualified club coaches.

Isles of Scilly trip 2025.
Following successful trips in 2023 and 2024, another SACC trip to the Isles of Scilly is being arranged for next year:
When: Saturday 16th August to Saturday 23rd August 2025
Where: 'Sea View' area of Pelistry campsite, on St Mary's.
If you are interested in joining the trip, please register by filling in your details on the form here. No firm commitment at this stage - I just need to get an idea of numbers. If we have enough to make the trip viable, then I'll ask for a deposit by the end of October, with balance in May. This trip is primarily for SACC members, but non-kayaking partners/guests are very welcome subject to space.
Costs is anticipated to be similar to this year - £325 per person, including return ferry, transport of kayaks, camping gear and camping.
Any questions - just ask.
