Review of Barcelona paddle surf at sunrise or sunset, with photos, friendly instruction, lockers, sea views, and practical booking advice.
“Fantastic experience, we paid for our daughters to do this on our last morning totally worth the money they loved every minute.

“We really enjoyed the actual paddle boarding. However, there was no one there on our arrival, so we waited 20 mins. We then had to carry our equipment through town and the length of the beach. We were told to be back for 12 noon, but had to wait 30 minutes as there was no one to meet us. We had a text saying we could have 2 hours, but the text was from a colleague but not verbally communicated to us in the shop.
