SUP route towards Sant Feliu de Guíxols (South side of Sant Pol – S´Agaró bay): this route is full of caves, coves and little beaches such as: Cala Masset, Cueva del Mussols, Cap de Mort, the Rat Penat cave, Molí cove, Cala del Peix, Cala del Cranc or Ventosa cove.

SUP route towards Playa de Aro (North side of the bay of Sant Pol – S´Agaró): we will paddle next to “the Camino de Ronda” that starts at S´Agaró beach towards Playa de Aro. In this area you will find the sunken ship, the corner of the Hotel de la Gavina and the Punta d’en Pau and its narrow passage.
