Start

83 Toulon tour royale

Easy parking and about 200m walk to the water across the promenade.  Watch walkers and cyclists. It's a sandy beach and very sheltered therefor giving the illusion of flat conditions. It's possible to use the facilities in Tumbles when they are open. When launching paddle approximately 2km towards the Inchkeith Island and until you get a visual of one or all of the Forth Bridges to the left before turning for the downwind. Aim for  the Hopetoun Monument on top of Garleton Hill. 

Finish

Longniddry Bents Car Park No 3

Longniddry Bents carpark is in line with Hopetoun Monument. You may encounter a lot of kite surfers as you near the finish. Look out for low lying rocks to the left of the landing spot. There are toilet facilities and if you're lucky there is a Fish & Chip Van.
