Parking: Pay and display parking around recreation ground. Charges apply 09.00-18.00. Spaces in winter months but full of caravans in summer. Overflow available nearby. Refreshment: Close to the centre of Exmouth with plenty of pubs and shops. Please visit exe-kiteboarders.co.uk for latest info on this spot The “Duck Pond” works best on a North Westerly (NW) wind - as the wind ‘cleans up’ as it funnels down Exe Estuary from Exeter. It’s best 2 hours either side of High Tide, but can be ridden at most states of the tide if you’re willing to walk. The Duck Pond has a Wildlife Refuge area active from 15th September to the end of December and it’s vital we keep out of this area. Kitesurfers must give way to all larger and less manoeuverable craft in and around the river and Navigation Channels and maintain an adequate clearence. Location The Duck Pond is the local name for part of the Exe Estuary nearest Exmouth. The rigging / launch site is at the Imperial Recreation Ground, The Royale Ave, Exmouth, EX8 1DG. Parking is sometimes tight right by the “Rec Ground” so there are alternatives a short walk away just over the road at the Imperial Road Short Stay Car Park that you passed getting there or across the Rec Ground grass at Camperdown Terrace - (EX8 1EJ) Location Update by: Andy - Windriders
