Description

Context Stand-up paddleboarding in L'Estartit takes place along the Catalan coast, just opposite the Medas Islands, an integrated marine reserve renowned for its striking rock formations and exceptional underwater biodiversity. The area offers calm, sheltered waters ideal for light navigation and coastal exploration, with low-difficulty routes extending up to 5.5 km.

The Experience Renting a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) allows you to glide smoothly across the sea, breathing in the salty air and the scent of marine vegetation as you gaze at the almost lunar rock formations of the Medas Islands. You can combine paddling with short stops for snorkeling in protected coves or practice yoga on the board, taking full advantage of its stability and comfort. The activity is tailored to your personal pace, with a brief technical briefing beforehand and a life jacket included.

For Whom This experience suits beginners, those with limited experience, families with children over 8 years old (subject to operator guidelines), and anyone seeking a calm, accessible water activity. It is not recommended for people with limited mobility unless adapted equipment is available, nor for those preferring high-intensity activities.

Local Context L'Estartit is a coastal village with a long-standing tradition in maritime activities and nature-based tourism. The local community values the conservation of the Medas Islands Marine Reserve, where traditional fishing has transitioned into environmentally respectful tourism that protects marine life and natural habitats.
