Duck Pond

Large estuary suitable for sailing and kitesurfing in most wind directions.

The Duck Pond as it is known to the locals, is rather a special place just within the Exe Estuary. At high tide it can offer a large sailing area where you can be pretty sure that you are going to be within your depth if you come off the board. It's perfect for learning and sailing in maxed out conditions. Exmouths Duckpond can be sailed in most wind directions and if the worst comes to the worst you can be pretty confident that you will be blown to shore. There is usually ample parking on the water front, but occasionally, at peak times, you may have to dump your gear and park in an overflow car park about two minutes walk away. There are toilets & showers in Exmouth Windsurfing Centre's School building and 3 minutes walk will see you in the Town. There is a large, grassy area for rigging up right next to the water.

Toilets are available, including facilities for disabled people. Cafés, restaurants, kiosks and pubs can all be found on the front and in the town. A slipway provides access for boats.
