Watersports fans

Right by the beach, the Surf Center offers windsurfing lessons, rentals, and a shop. The Surf & Kite School provides kitesurfing courses and equipment hire—great for parents or older teens looking to level up their skills while younger kids enjoy the water playground.

Safety, comfort, and accessibility

Camping Aquarius supports family comfort with practical, on-site facilities close to the action. While general water safety always relies on attentive adult supervision, these amenities make family days smoother:

• Encourage frequent water breaks and snacks.
• Consider water shoes for grip and comfort.
