Kitesurfing This is a form of surfing in which the wind is used to pull the surfer by kite. It has been popularized greatly in recent years and can be practiced on many beaches (Indonesia, Australia and South Africa, all have great kitesurfing areas) and lakes, if weather conditions are right. Windsurfing You are most likely familiar with this one. It’s basically surfing meets sailing. In Spain, you can go to numerous beaches, including the Canary Islands (Fuerteventura is a good starting point). Some of the most famous spots around the world are Wellington (New Zealand), Lake Arenal (Costa Rica), Maui (which is known as the world capital of Windsurfing) or the island of Paros, Greece. Paddle surfing Paddle surfers are a bit like saltwater gondoliers, since the surfer uses a paddle to propel him or herself through the water. This can be done at a good number of beaches… all you need is arm strength! Beach Volleyball At all these beaches filled with surfers of all types, you may also see people playing beach volleyball.

Anchoring a boat in a shallow area to access remote beaches is an increasingly popular activity among owners of small boats.

The bravest among you might even want to spend the night there and witness the beauty of both sunset and sunrise. Even if you’re not lucky enough to own your own boat, there are many offers for boat rentals available in the coastal towns. You can rent a boat with a driver, who will spend the day with you and take you on a memorable journey, possibly with food included. Or you can choose to rent a small boat that does not require a license to drive. This is great for a group of friends who want to spend the day together in a fun way. Cala Pi, Mallorca This little Mallorcan gem will take your breath away. The beach, which is made up of fine sand, has no seaweed and is surrounded by the typical Mediterranean pine. Take care on windy days, as leaving can be difficult, and note that the depth is less than 5 meters. Cala de San Pedro, Cabo de Gata This is one of the few strongholds on the Iberian Peninsula that is still inhabited by hippies. Its waters are spectacular, and it’s an ideal spot for fish-spotting and playing sports. Accessing this beach can be a bit tricky, since you have to walk quite a ways (about a 45... read more
