The Mediterranean is blessed with very calm water conditions due to its enclosed nature. Additionally, this area of Javea is in a bay itself, meaning that even when the open sea is rough, we are protected and sheltered by the coastline! We are fortunate enough to have some of the best conditions on the Costa Blanca, with crystal-flat waters almost every single day! This is especially true for the sunrise when wind and waves tend to be at their lowest!
Be it in the morning when it’s less busy, or later in the afternoon to experience beautiful sunsets, paddle boarding with Siesta Advisor is exceptional all-day.

Additionally, paddle boarding in Javea can be done all-year! Javea boasts with having around 330 sunny days a year, meaning that even winter temperatures can reach 25oc!

We highly recommend doing the excursion in swimwear and/or clothes that you don’t mind getting wet as paddle boarding is a water-based activity.

One or two towels are also advisable.
Drinking water is essential as to avoid dehydration throughout the tour, and a few snacks (sandwiches, fruits, chocolate bars, nuts, sweets) to help with energy.
