Trips
Kayak trip to Isla de Paco and the Phoenician shipwreck
Setting off from La Ermita beach (the bay), the route follows the coastline to the area where the Phoenician ship was found.
After a short explanation of the history of this emblematic find, we paddle on to the small unspoilt cove on “Isla de Paco”, where we take a break and can see the unusual plants and wildlife that live on the island. If sea conditions allow, we paddle right round it before returning to the starting point, where we share the experience and recover our energy.
