Kayaking in Salobreña: history, nature and snorkeling on the Tropical Coast

Discover the Tropical Coast by kayak: explore the history and nature of Salobreña, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, and enjoy a unique adventure among cliffs and hidden beaches
Embark on an unforgettable kayak tour along the Tropical Coast, departing from the iconic Peñón Bay in Salobreña. Paddle alongside La Guardia beach and discover La Caleta, a small fishing district that, over time, has transformed into a magical and picturesque corner, while still preserving the charm of its traditional fishermen’s quarter.

Make a stop at the small beach next to the Plaza del Lavadero pier, where you can photograph the majestic sugar, molasses, and alcohol factory—the last one of its kind still active in Europe. Although it is currently closed, part of its facilities is now used for fish farming, such as sea bass and gilthead bream, which you’ll be able to observe during the tour.

Continue the adventure paddling towards the protected cliffs of El Caletón, a stunning natural area. Follow a coastal-land route towards Almuñécar, crossing a narrow stone passageway that leads to El Caletón beach. There, enjoy a break to snorkel and admire the impressive marine biodiversity in crystal-clear waters, while you relax and cool off in a unique environment.

The journey continues towards Almuñécar, where you’ll have the chance to see some of the most spectacular houses along the coast. In order to make the return trip easier, you'll be towed back by a small support boat, ensuring the tour is accessible and enjoyable for all participants.

Back at the Peñón Bay, explore its small caves and large crevices, and jump into the water again to snorkel and discover the marine life hidden in these rocky corners. From this privileged spot, you can also watch young people jumping from the rocks, adding a touch of local energy to the experience.

This kayak tour is a complete experience that combines history, nature, adventure and relaxation. Discover the most authentic and surprising corners of Salobreña and the Tropical Coast from the sea, on an tour that will delight all lovers of the ocean and nature.
