Devon Days Out: What to Pack for Coastal Adventures

Is there anything better than a day at the beach in the summertime? We don’t think so! There are miles upon miles of gorgeous coastline here in England, and many would argue that the beaches of Devon are the most beautiful of all. Which idyllic coastal location will you choose for your next outing? If you’re feeling adventurous, you could head to Exmouth for a paddleboarding experience before relaxing on the golden sands. Or, if you’re looking for something more tranquil, how about a peaceful stroll and a picnic in picturesque Budleigh Salterton? Or perhaps you’d like to enjoy the quintessential British seaside experience with a delicious ice cream on a hot day in the pretty fishing village of Beer. Wherever you choose, and whatever you do, you’re sure to have an amazing day if you pack everything you need for the ultimate day out on the Devon coast.

So, let’s take a look at our top picks for seaside days out…

A Backpack That Doesn’t Cost the Earth

First things first, you need the perfect bag, and the Roka Canfield B certainly fits the bill. Made from recycled bottles, this eco-friendly rucksack is just so practical. It’s deceptively spacious, and its wide-mouth opening makes it very easy to access. And while we don’t want to jinx your coastal day out, let us just point out that this bag is waterproof, so the British weather won’t dampen your spirits or your belongings! It’s available in a range of colourways, but we think Seaport is the perfect shade for a day out on the Devon coast.
