The Best Way To Experience Tenby Is From The Water

Tenby is famous for its beaches, harbour, colourful houses and coastal views, but the real magic starts when you get on the water. With Outer Reef, you can explore the coastline by paddle board, kayak, surfboard or coasteering route.

Whether you are visiting Tenby for a family holiday, planning a stag or hen weekend, organising a school trip, booking a couple’s adventure, or looking for a proper day out by the sea, our team can help you choose the right activity.

We use local knowledge, tide, wind, swell and weather conditions to guide people towards the best available venue and activity. That means you are not locked into one beach if another location will give you a better experience.

Families Beginner-friendly paddle boarding, kayaking, surfing, coasteering and private family activity days.
Groups Stag and hen parties, youth groups, team building, birthdays and adventure weekends.

One Booking • Multiple Locations

Why Outer Reef Is Different

Many activity providers are tied to one beach or one activity. Outer Reef gives you access to Tenby, Manorbier, Stackpole Quay, Freshwater West, Newgale and other suitable coastal venues.

That matters because Pembrokeshire conditions change. Wind, swell, tide and weather can all affect the best place to run a session. Our team uses local knowledge to help match your group with the best available activity and location.

If you are staying in Tenby, we can help you enjoy Tenby itself and also discover the wider Pembrokeshire coast.

Better Conditions We choose venues based on safety, suitability and the best experience available on the day.
More Choice Surfing, SUP, kayaking, coasteering, equipment hire, family days and group packages.
Local Knowledge Established in 1999, Outer Reef knows the Pembrokeshire coastline and how to get the best from it.
