Ilfracombe Watersports Hub
The primary purpose of the Ilfracombe Watersports Hub is to provide a new home for three local watersports clubs, Ilfracombe Gig Club, Y-Sail and Ilfracombe Canoe Club. This new facility will allow them to extend their memberships to the wider community and offer taster events to local residents and visitors.
Another important aim is to provide a site which can be used by the wider community, enabling the public and organised groups to pre-book watersports activities through our three approved activity providers – Coastal Swim Coaching, Active Escape and H2Outdoors
The hub also provides FREE use of the public slipway, access to the external cold shower facilities and to the Lime Kiln Cafe.
The public slipway is NOT to be used by any powered craft and swimmers are reminded that with Ilfracombe being a working harbour they are to remain within the buoyed area unless they are taking part in a pre-booked session with Coastal Swim Coaching.

The Lime Kiln Café & Bar has superb panoramic views looking out over the harbour, with the best view of Verity in the whole town.
Come and relax on our terrace overlooking the hustle and bustle of the new water sports centre, enjoy the breath-taking sea views from inside the stylish Café interior with floor-to-ceiling windows and décor or sit on our sun drenched front patio….the choice is yours.
