Enrol on a canoeing or sailing course or perhaps a spot of windsurfing is more your style. For something more relaxing, hire a boat or cruiser for the day and take in the beautiful scenery. This is one of the best ways to explore the rich broadland environment which provides a unique habitat for numerous species of plants and wildlife. If you want to lay back and let someone else do the steering, take a broadland cruise on the luxurious Waveney Princess. Trips depart daily throughout the summer season and on board facilities include a licensed bar and sun canopy.
Anglers have plenty of choice with excellent coarse, game or sea fishing.
Running through Beccles and Bungay, the Waveney River boasts large shoals of bream, roach and chub. Oulton Broad's North Bay is also an excellent fishing spot, especially at the eastern end, known locally as 'Dead End'. In Southwold, the north and south harbour entrance pier are good locations for bass and grey mullet. In addition, Southwold beach offers good cod, sole and whiting fishing. There are plenty of boat hire opportunities throughout the area, and if you are feeling more adventurous, why not book a sea angling trip aboard the Blue Eagle ll.
