I would like one or more small human-powered craft that one-to-three people (adults and/or teenagers) can use to explore beaches, coves, islands, estuaries, sea lochs and shorelines in general. What would work best?

This would be for me & two mid-teens, or any combination of those three. Typical locations would be south-west of England, or west coast of Scotland. Never more than a couple of hundred yards from shore, or trips of more than a mile or two. Still & sunny conditions only.

I've used a stand-up paddleboard, and kayaks (solo & tandem). Both are ok, but I've found kayaking to be more versatile & felt safer in anything other than flat-calm weather. What I'd love would be something that just one of us, or all three, could jump in & have fun - but that leads me towards a Canadian-style canoe in my mind, and I don't think I've ever seen one of those being used offshore - perhaps there's a good reason for that.

Three paddleboards? One tandem & one solo kayak?

Assume reasonable safety equipment, competent swimmers, sensible behaviour, etc - but any non-obvious safety advice would also be welcome.
