Top Water Activities Spots in Spain

I think exploring the local area is a must. Just a short walk from the beach, you’ll find charming little shops and cafés that are worth checking out.

I suggest visiting Sardinero during the early morning. The beach is less crowded, and the sunrise views are stunning.

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks to save money. The beachside cafes can get pricey, especially during peak hours

Book your dive in advance, especially during peak season. I did, and it saved me from missing out on the best spots.

The staff was super friendly, so I suggest asking them for tips on the best underwater spots to check out – they know all the secret gems!

Don't skip the guided tours of the Medes Islands! They're informative and showcase the area's beauty better than just diving solo.

If you're looking to save some cash, consider bringing your own gear if you have it. Rental prices can add up quickly.

Don't miss out on the sunset at Playa de las Americas. Bring a blanket and some drinks, it's absolutely breathtaking! Just don't forget to get there by 6 PM to snag a good spot!

If you're into surfing, check out Playa de la LaTejita. The waves are great and there's less crowd compared to other spots, plus it's free! Just be careful with your stuff, as I had my towel 'borrowed' once.

I recommend visiting Playa de las Teresitas early in the morning, around 8 AM. The golden sand and calm waters are perfect for a chill beach day before the tourists arrive.

If you want to get great surf lessons, look for local schools rather than big brands... I got a fantastic deal with a small surf shop that wasn't on the main tourist radar - way more personalized!

I think the sunsets at Somo Beach are stunning, so don’t miss them! Settle down by 8 PM with a drink and just enjoy the view. It's a perfect way to wind down your day.

I recommend packing a picnic instead of buying food at the beach. The beach bars can be pricey, but the nearby supermarket has some great stuff for a beach lunch!

My advice is to rent a surfboard early in the day... The shops get busy, and I ended up waiting way too long just to grab one

If you're into water sports, consider renting equipment instead of booking a pricey guided tour. I rented a paddleboard for a few hours and had a blast exploring the coast at my own pace.

I suggest checking the marina's schedule for local events or markets; I stumbled into a craft fair which had some great souvenirs at reasonable prices.

Check out the local surf schools for deals on group lessons. I found one that was half the price of the others, and the instructors were super friendly and helpful. Makes a huge difference if you're just starting out!

Bring your own snacks and drinks to the beach! Many of the beach bars can be a bit overpriced and you’ll save a lot by packing a cooler. Plus it’s nice to have your favorite treats while soaking up the sun.

Don't skip the sunset views at Playa de las Alcaravaneras. It's a bit of a hidden gem, and the colors are stunning. I was blown away!

I recommend trying to find local surf schools instead of the big names. They usually have better prices and are super friendly. I ended up saving quite a bit this way!

Bring your own snacks and drinks to the beach. Some kiosks charge ridiculous prices. I ended up spending way too much on sodas! A little thermos can go a long way.

Make sure to pack a cooler with snacks and drinks for the beach. I spent way too much on overpriced stuff at the kiosks - a little prep goes a long way!

I suggest getting a rental car. It gave me the freedom to explore those hidden beaches and spots like Playa de Cofete without relying on public transport. Trust me, it's worth it!

Stay in Corralejo, it's super fun with lots of bars and restaurants. Plus, you're close to the northern beaches. I loved how lively it felt, especially at night!

My advice is to book your diving sessions online in advance. I saved a good chunk of change by taking advantage of early bird discounts.

I suggest arriving early, around 9 AM, to beat the crowds and get a prime spot on the boat. We had some great visibility because we went out before lots of other divers.
