Paddle Surf in Dénia

Paddle surfing has become one of the most popular nautical activities in Dénia thanks to its simplicity, accessibility and direct connection with nature. It consists of paddling standing on a board, combining balance, strength and concentration, at a relaxed or more intense pace, depending on the level and objective of each person.

It is ideal to practice alone, as a couple, with friends or family. It allows you to discover the coast in a quiet way, without noise, without environmental impact and with a unique perspective of the seascape.

Dénia has a privileged environment for paddle surfing. From areas of calm waters ideal for beginners, to more technically demanding sections for those seeking adventure. Areas such as Les Rotes, the Cabo de San Antonio Marine Reserve or the surroundings of the Cova Tallada offer spectacular routes, surrounded by cliffs, seabed and biodiversity.

Health benefits and practical tips

Paddle surfing is not only fun, it is also very complete from a physical and mental point of view. It helps:

  • Strengthen the core (abdomen, lower back and gluteus muscles).
  • Improve balance and body posture
  • Tone legs, arms and back
  • Reduce stress and improve concentration
  • Stimulate conscious contact with the natural environment

Tips to get started:

  • Use a wide and stable board if it is your first time.
  • Paddling calmly in calm waters is the best way to get started.
  • Keep your eyes straight ahead, not down at your feet.
  • Always wear a life jacket or safety leash.
  • Don’t forget sun protection, a hat and water to hydrate yourself.

In no time you will feel comfortable and able to explore on your own.

Good practices

Paddling with respect is part of the experience

Paddle surfing is one of the nautical activities with the least environmental impact, but it also implies acting responsibly. Especially in protected areas such as the Cabo de San Antonio Marine Reserve, it is essential to follow some basic rules:

  • Avoid paddling over posidonia meadows, essential for the marine ecosystem.
  • Do not access caves or sensitive areas if they are not permitted or marked.
  • Do not leave waste (neither your own nor other people’s). If you see trash floating around, pick it up.
  • Use biodegradable sunscreens that do not harm water or wildlife.
  • Keep quiet so as not to disturb the behavior of birds or marine species.
  • Always respect marine fauna: do not chase or touch them.
