Ke'oke'o SUP River Route 1; Shoreham Beach to Kings Head Inn, Bramber

Notes: A long(ish) route for a sunny and windless day; keep an eye out for the red pub sign on a fence to the right inside of a shallow curve of the river, with a low gate leading into the garden. Landing can be a tough one if the tide is still flowing – it’s a pretty steep bank underwater so watch your step – grab hold of some grass and haul yourself out, but hang on to your gear!

Boards can be stowed on the grassy riverside bank outside of the pub premises (note that this is a public footpath however – though there’s plenty of benches in the garden right up close to the gate so you can hang about in the vicinity of your gear). This seems to be a popular destination for river users, with local kayakers using the bank also.

Note the tide and leave about an hour and a half before peak – plenty of time for a drink in the pub before an easy cruise back with the tide behind you all the way.
