Kayaking in Gibraltar
Including Gibraltar Eastern Beaches and Catalan Bay. On the map.
The vibe
Kayaking offers a unique perspective of the towering cliffs from the water, allowing you to paddle into small coves inaccessible by land. The summer months are ideal, as the sea is calm enough to navigate the rocky perimeter safely. It feels like a personal, DIY trip where you set your own pace along the dramatic, imposing coastline.
