Surfing, Kitesurfing, and Windsurfing

The island offers countless places to practice or learn these sports. The island’s prevailing southeast winds make Pozo Izquierdo Beach a favorite among expert windsurfers and kitesurfers, while beginners can enjoy learning and practicing surfing at Las Canteras Beach, particularly in the Confital and Cicer areas.

Diving and Snorkeling

Discover marine life by snorkeling or scuba diving. Practice these two disciplines in diving centers where you can hire dives or take diving courses of all levels. Experienced divers should not miss exploring the El Cabrón Marine Reserve, known for its marine life diversity.

Other options to discover marine life include diving in a submarine in Mogan or sea trekking along Anfi del Mar beach.

Water activities in the Mogán area

If you are staying in the Puerto de Mogán, Playa del Cura, or Taurito areas, you can rent a jet ski and do jet ski tours, rent kayaks, parasail, or do a boat tour.
