Continuing our Local Spotlight series, we’re shining a light on one of Falmouth’s best-loved watersports providers: Blü Paddle.

There’s no better way to experience Falmouth than from the water. Just a short stroll from The Falmouth, Blü Paddle Co. invites visitors to swap the shoreline for the sea, offering stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking experiences from the golden sands of Gyllyngvase Beach. Whether you’re trying paddleboarding for the very first time or looking to explore hidden corners of the coastline, every adventure begins with the bay as your playground.

Perfect for families, couples, solo travellers and groups alike, it’s an unforgettable way to discover Cornwall’s coastline from a whole new perspective.

Based on Gyllyngvase Beach, Blü Paddle has become one of Falmouth’s go-to destinations for paddleboarding, thanks to its experienced instructors, welcoming atmosphere and stunning beachfront location. With calm waters and spectacular coastal scenery, Gylly is the ideal place to build confidence on the board before heading off to explore the bay.
