A beautiful seaside spot in Spain’s southern Costa Brava,Water Fun in Lloret de Mar Articles Lloret de Mar beckons countless numbers of visitors each summer to its sandy beaches, fabulous restaurants and a booming nightlife. It really is a holidaymakers’ paradise!

With five Blue Flag beaches covering 7 kilometres of sandy coastline, Lloret is an excellent destination for water activities. There is something for all levels of adventure, from peaceful kayaking to heart-pumping jet skiing or parasailing, and everything in between.

Parasailing

Enjoy a bird’s eye view of Lloret from 50 metres up in the air, safely buckled in and flying high above the sea under a sail. Be pulled along slowly by an attached boat below, and enjoy the breath-taking, panoramic views. Not for the faint of heart, parasailing can be experienced alone or with a partner, and is an activity you will not soon forget.

Jet Ski

If you have a need for speed, riding a jet ski may be just what you’re looking for. Rent a jet ski on the beach and ride on your own or as a pair. You will be transported by boat out to a floating platform, from which there will be a marked 2km circuit for you to follow. No license required!

Sailing

There’s nothing quite like enjoying a hot, sunny day out on a sailboat with a group of friends. With an average of thirteen hours of sunshine in July, Lloret de Mar is the perfect spot for sailing out on the open sea with just the power of the wind. Yachts are available for hire, as well as luxury boats with crew, to take you out further into the Mediterranean, if desired.

Water Skiing and Wakeboarding

Accommodating all skill levels, outfits on the beach offer water skiing and wakeboarding for an exhilarating ride out on the water. For the best experience, it is recommended you plan to water ski or wakeboard in the mornings, when water and wind conditions are most accommodating.

Scuba and Snorkelling

Certified scuba divers will love the opportunity to spot some barracuda’s, sunfish and greater amberjacks under the sea in the clear, warm waters of the Mediterranean. There are various diving zones around Lloret de Mar, graded by degrees of difficulty. Depending on your diving experience, you may want to try the easily accessible Fito or the challenging Mulera, recommended for professional divers. There are various dive shops offering equipment rentals and day trips, as well as PADI certification courses for beginners.

If snorkelling is more your speed, pack some snorkel gear and head out into the shallow water along the shoreline to explore the flora and fauna in and around the rocky coves, or rent a boat and snorkel further out at sea.

Kayaking

For the days you crave more of a relaxed day out on the water, rent a kayak and paddle along the coastline to explore the little inlets along the shore. Outfits on the beach offer kayaks to fit one, two or three paddlers.
