About

Check out this spot in Puerto Real. Great spot for kayaking, canoeing and supping. Puerto Real is a small town in the province of Cádiz, located in the autonomous community of Andalucía in southern Spain. It is situated on the banks of the Guadalete River and near the Bay of Cádiz, offering beautiful views of the water and nearby hills. The surrounding scenery is mostly characterized by rolling hills covered in dense forests of oak and pine trees, providing great opportunities for hiking and outdoor adventures. In addition, the area around Puerto Real is dotted with small villages, each with its own unique charm and history. The town itself boasts a rich cultural heritage, including historic buildings and landmarks such as the Castillo de San Marcos and the church of San José. The town is also home to a thriving artisanal tradition, with local crafts such as pottery and embroidery being specialties. Finally, the nearby beaches are some of the most beautiful in Andalucía, with long stretches of white sand and clear blue waters ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and surfing.

  • Cold water shock is real. Enter slowly and control your breathing.
  • Always swim with others or tell someone your plan
  • A tow float makes you visible to boats and other water users
