A highlight in St Francis Bay
The magical canals of St Francis are not just for observation. Canoeing and certain water sports are also enjoyed on the waters. The St Francis Paddling Club was established in 2011 to give young and old a place they could thrive and enjoy paddling in. The club meets on the water at 17:30 every Wednesday for social paddling or more competitive time trials. It's a great way to burn off those worthwhile extra calories from Quays Restaurant and have fun while doing it.
