Its mostly flat terrain and calm waters make it ideal for a unique outdoor experience: riding a Sea Bike, a floating bicycle that blends cycling and sailing. The wind carries the fresh scent of salt and seaweed.

The Experience You’ll rent a Sea Bike equipped with the Shuttle Bike system, ensuring stability and safety on the water. Pedal at your own pace along sandy beaches, mussel beds, and coves that are unreachable by land. Depending on weather, you may also visit the small island of Areoso. Each pedal stroke is accompanied by the gentle sound of waves and the sea breeze, offering panoramic views of the rugged coastline throughout the ride.
