Coastal Kayak Adventure: Melilla From The Sea

OVERVIEW

Paddle a sea kayak off the coast of Melilla for a unique perspective of the city with a focus on its natural beauty and environmental consciousness. After a briefing to ensure that you maximize the experience, you will ease into a kayak and follow the guide across the typically calm waters. The starting point will be the sheltered beach at Ensenada de los Galápagos, behind which stands an 18th-century fortification. You will paddle past several other gorgeous beaches, including the idyllic stretch of sand at Cala de Trápana, where you will stop briefly. Lined with shops and cafés, the promenade that runs along the Paseo Marítimo breakwater will look particularly attractive from the sea. The guide will describe the most revealing points of interest such as the rugged Boca del León shoreline to enhance your understanding of their histories. If you wish, you can extend the adventure by visiting an eco-friendly desalination plant.
